English? English! English ...
People from many parts of the English-speaking world have little or no difficulty in understanding one another. Of course, the English language used in different parts of the world differs in many ways. For example, look at the difference between the British and American terms for the same things.
British English
flat
petrol
holiday
American English
apartment
gasoline/gas
vacation
There are also differences in pronunciation and spelling, vocabulary and grammar. Even within Great Britain or America people in different parts of the country express themselves in different ways and have different accents. Here are some more examples:
Americans say, “I suggest we go there together.” The British say, “I suggest we should go there together.”
In Australia they say, “cobber”; in Britain they say, “friend”.
Americans write “color”, “favorite”, “meter”; the British write “colour”, “favourite”, “metre”.
In American English “class” and “dance” have the same sound as “man”; in British English it is the same sound as in “park”.
Americans call it “subway”, the British call it “underground”.
