Answer 3

There are quite a few differences between "English English" and "American English" other than slang words.

-- Some non-slang words have entirely different meanings. ("Lift" and "bonnet", for instance.)

-- Grammar rules are different.  For example, in "English English", it is proper to say "different to", while in "American English", the correct usage is "different from".

-- Verb pluralization is different.  In "English English", nouns that indicate more than a single person or entity take a plural verb, even if the noun itself is singular; in "American English", the same noun would take a singular verb.  For instance, in the UK, one would say "My family are here," while in the US, it would be "My family is here."

-- Spelling is different.  Colour/color, plough/plow, kerb/curb, etc.

I'm sure there are many more differences that I can't think of at the moment.

Answer 4

no just that the americans use english language, ino many will dissagree but look at the name english american

Answer 5

Somethings, such as the car bonnet is known as the hood in American English; the boot is known as the trunk.

British grammar is far more structured, than American grammar, even in colloquial writing.
