         English is the most widely used language which the number of speaker have been skyrocketing. Different countries have their own version of English. AmE and BrE for instance, they look so much alike, no wonder it could be difficult to tell them apart. Despite likenesses, they are by far different each other. So to make a long story short, in today's posting I'm on top of the world to tell you how these two languages different in quite of a few ways.
            One of the most subtle difference is the vocabulary. As an example, a 'boot' to an American would be a pair od shoes, but to a British, the 'boot' would refer to the trunk of a car. An American would say 'truck', while a British call it 'lorry'. Yet another difference is the grammar. There are many differences when it comes to grammar. In the US you will hear people ask "did you have breakfast yet?", meanwhile in the UK you will hear "have you had breakfast yet ?". In the use of compound nouns, AmE more likely combining verb+noun, e.g. 'jump rope'. BrE however, the compound nouns are formed by combining gerund+noun, e.g. 'skipping rope'. Comparing both languages we notice another difference. Word spelling in AmE is far cry from BrE. The world which spelled differently is 'color' in the US, yet in the UK would be 'colour'. Last but not least, the way American pronounce a word is a subtle different to a British. As we know, the sound of 'R' in the end of a word pronounced stronger in AmE than in BrE.
           Those are several things that make AmE and BrE unlike. The type of English that you concerned most would depends on you in your circumtences. For example, if you going to move to the US, then I suggest you to learn AmE and vice versa. In that way, you might not be able to caught up in misapprehension while get through to a native speaker. I hope you found this essay useful sooner or a later once and for all.
See you guys. :-)
