pavement (GB) – sidewalk (US)

lift (GB) – elevator (US)

lorry (GB) – truck (US)

British speakers use "yet" with the present perfect tense, while American speakers tend to use the Past Simple:

Have you eaten dinner yet? (GB)

Did you eat dinner yet? (US)

"at the weekend" (GB) but "on the weekend" (US)

British speakers will often use "was" in subjunctive sentences, while Americans prefer "were" as in:

"If I was you, I'd…" (GB) and "If I were you, I'd…" (US)

In British English, the final comma before "and" (in a list) is omitted, but not in American English.

She bought cereal, coffee, sugar and tea. (GB)

She bought cereal, coffee, sugar, and tea. (US)

Some noun endings are -re in British English, but -er in American English:

For example: centre (GB) and center (US)

Some words have -ice ending for the noun and -ise ending for the verb in British English. For example: practice (noun) and to practise (verb). However, in American English both noun and verb are spelled practice.

In British English, when a word ends in a single consonant, it is doubled when we add a suffix beginning with a vowel: For example: traveller; levelled

However, in American English the 'l' is not doubled: For example: traveler, leveled

cheque (GB) – check (US); programme (GB) – program (US)

In British English we follow the day – month – year format, although this is month – day – year format in American English.

1/7/2010 is July 1st in British English, but January 7th in American English.

meter - metre

catalogue - catalog

generalise - generalize

advice - advise

Ragozásban pl. get, got, got - gotten.

Kiejtésben a szó/szótag végi r-ek ejtése, can-can't, worry-furry szócsoportok közötti különbségtétel, stb.

Rengeteg van, sok ilyenről olvashatsz ezeken az oldalakon:

Előbb elszúrtam a sorrendet:

metre-meter

Kiejtésben különbség még a t "désítése" egyfajta gyors-d hangként ejtik, better: "betá"/"be-a" - bedör.

A gonna - going to nem valós szembenállás, a britben is gonna-znak már. Eredetileg amerikai sajátosság volt, hogy bizonyos szavakban az nt n-né egyszerűsödött, international - "inör nesönöl" (t nélkül), de már elég régen átvették máshol is.
