British English often keeps the spelling of words that have come from
languages such as Latin, Greek, or French, while the American English
equivalent often reflects how the words sound when spoken, e.g. centre
– center, dialogue – dialog.
Some words are spelled differently in American English. Common
differences are: -our / -or, -tre / -ter, -ence / -ense, vowel + ll / vowel + l.

American English uses –ize instead of –ise, though both may be acceptable
in British English.

There are some differences in stress and pronunciation between the way
British and American speakers pronounce words.

Hey, Sam! Can`t wait for you to arrive! I`ve organized your accommodation – you`ll be
staying with a neighbor of mine. He`s from Mexico, so you`ll be able to practice your
Spanish while you`re on vacation. Public transportation`s pretty good here, and I live
near the subway, but bring your driver`s license anyhow. Maybe we could take a trip out
to the theater one evening? Anyway, I`ll meet you at the airport on Saturday. New York`s
beautiful in the fall, so I know we`ll have a great time, even if we just play soccer in the
yard!
