Today, American English is in common international use. It is different from British English in several ways, mostly in spelling and vocabulary. Some American spellings were created by Noah Webster , who made one of America’s first dictionaries. He changed “-re” spellings to “-er”, which is why1_____________ is spelt 2___________in American English.
The Americans and the British also use different words for everyday things. For example, Americans talk about putting 3_______________in their cars and driving along the 4______________, whereas in the UK, people put 5____________in their cars and drive along the 6____________ Americans take the 7____________to the top floor of a building, but the British use the 8____________. In the US, they take the 9_____________, but in the UK, people travel on the 10_______________. Americans live in a(n) 11________________, while the British live in a(n) 12___________________. It’s not as confusing as it seems: usually people from the two countries can understand each other from the context. But that doesn’t stop them having a friendly argument about which word is the “right” one!
