British English (BrE) - the form of English used in the United Kingdom. It includes all English dialects used within the United Kingdom

Differences between the two include: Pronunciation Grammar Vocabulary (lexis) Spelling Punctuation Idioms Formatting of dates Numbers

Differences in pronunciation between American English (AmE) and British English (BrE) can be divided into: Differences in accent Differences in the pronunciation of individual words in the lexicon

Differences in Grammar Use of the Present Perfect: In British English it is used to talk about past actions that have an effect in the present In American English past simple and present perfect are used in the same situations. I have lost my pen. Can you borrow me yours? (BE) I lost my pen. OR I have lost my pen. (AE)

Other differences Other differences include the use of: already, just and yet. The British use the present perfect with these adverbs of indefinite time. In American English simple past and present perfect are both possible.

Examples: Yet: She hasn't come yet. (BE) She hasn't come yet. OR She didn't come yet. (AE) Already: I have already seen this movie. (BE) I have already seen this movie. OR I already saw this movie. (AE) Just: He has just gone home. (BE) He just went home. OR He has just gone home. (AE)

Americans try to spell words more closely to the way they sound phonetically and they tend to omit some letters.
