List of words having different meanings in British and American English: http://en.wikipedia.or /wiki/List_of_words_having_different_meanings_in_British_and_American_English Spelling differences between American and British English: http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwesl/egw/jones/differences.htm

Some different words are used, and some slight spelling variations. I don't know all of them off the top of my head, but some of them are: Colour - British. Color - American. Favourite - British. Favorite. American. Honour - British. Honor - American. Commonly words with "ou" in British, will be said as just "o" in the American version. As for specific words, you have things like footpath vs sidewalk, or lift vs elevator, or tomato sauce vs ketchup. The differences are very minor, when you say either version people will know what you mean, it just depends on the culture. For example here, in Australia, asking for "ketchup" will get a rather negative view from others, as it's such an American way, we say "tomato sauce" here (we are primarily British). People will know what you mean though, you mostly just have to listen and pick it up as you go along, it differs by country. There are some countries that use bits of both.
