Among different standard English, there exist numerous variations in terms of

pronunciation, grammar and spelling. My writing will focus on those variations between
American English and British English only.
First and foremost, they have varied ways of pronoun a word. An example of this is
the case of tomato, which is pronounced as /tmt/ in BrE and /tme to / in AmE.
The word vase is also pronounced differently, /vz/ in BrE while /ve s/ in AmE. In
addition, for such words as garage, ballet or advertisement the two languages have
different stress rules. Second of all, American English somewhat differs British English in
terms of grammar. AmE occasionally replaces the present perfect tense with the simple past,
for example: I just got the prize instead of Ive just got the prize. They also prefer shorter
grammar structures, which leads to things like Go get your book or Wanna dance?. Last
but not least, the two languages have different spelling rules. Most words ending in an
unstressed -our in British English end in -or in American English (honour - honor, colour color, humour - humor, etc.). Words with the ending re in BrE are changed into er in AmE.
Some examples of this are centre, theatre, spectre and metre, which become
center, theater, specter and meter.
In a nutshell, difference between American English and British English are plentiful.
The above are just some instances and cannot be taken to generalize the whole thing.
