Written English is more or less same in either British

1．________

or American English. But there is some spelling

2．________

differences among American and British English.

3．________

For an example, “colour”and“centre”are spelt

4．________

“color”and“center”in American English. The

5．________

6．________

English has changed over the century. When people

7．________

from England traveled other countries, the English

language was taken with them. As time past, the

9．________

language changed. So people in different areas talk

10．________

different English and spell words in different ways.

This is how the differences come about.
