Assalamualaikum wbt... hello there!! today i would like have my entry in English and want to write about two varieties of English.
Although U.S English and British English are mutually understandable languages, there are quite a few differences. One differences is their spelling. Some words are "spelled" one way in the US but "spelt" another way in Great Britain. A person goes to a British "theatre" but to a US "theater" . In US schools, students theorize, analyze, and socialize, whereas British students theorise, analyse, and socialise.
A second area of difference is vocabulary. For example, the word "college" names two very different types of schools in the United States and Great Britain- University level in US and Pre-University level in Great Britain. Also, British university students live in "halls" on campus and in "flats" off campus, but US students live in "dormitories" on campus and in "apartments" off campus.
Finally there are difference in pronouncation. In Great Britain, the sound "a" in the words path,laugh,aunt,plant, and dance is like the "a" in father. In US, in contrast. the "a" sound in the words is like the 'a" in cat.
All in all, though there are differences between the English spoken in the US and British Isle, We Understand each other most of the time!! heheheh...
p/s : fuuhhh... thanks to my English teacher Sir Lokman Mohamad for teaching me English!! heheheh
