Anyone who has travelled between the USA and the UK can tell you that the first thing most people notice is the difference in accents and pronunciation. We use many of the same terms, but the there are key distinctions in the way that Americans and Brits pronounce certain words.
The most obvious one is the accent—specifically with sounds like "r" and certain vowel sounds, such as /ɒ/ vs. /ɑ/, in words like "pop" and "stop.". American and British accents also differ in intonation. On top of pronunciation, American English spelling differs from British English spelling. They don't always use the same

Here are a few of the differences between standard British English and standard American English pronunciation: 1. The /r/ sound. The American /r/ sound is said as a rhotic sound. Much stronger and more pronounced. The British /r/ sound is not rhotic and the tongue tip isn't held as tight.
Anna: Haha this was fun to read, as an Australian most of our accents are really a mix of American/British pronunciation. For me it was about 50/50 with American or British pronunciation with these words XD actually few people have that typical "Australian accent" it's mostly the people who live rural that grow up with that accent haha.
The main difference is that British English keeps the spelling of words it has absorbed from other languages, mainly French and German. Whilst American English spellings are based mostly on how the word sounds when it is spoken. English was introduced to what is modern day America in the 17 th century by the British settlers.
