They're the same. Well, technically I guess American English could include Canadian, Jamaican, Bermudan, Bahamanian, and Belizean English. However, I've never heard it used that way. "American English" and "US English" almost always refer to the language spoken in the USA, while "North American English" includes all the other English-speaking countries and territories in North America.

Hi Natsuki. In one word "Nothing" U S and American are the same. Maybe you mean US and UK The main difference is the way some words are spelled. The Americans also sometimes have different names for things than the Brittish.

I assume the poster means what's the difference between English in the USA compared to the Queen's English as spoken in the Commonwealth. Mostly spelling and pronunciation. Spelling examples centre vs center, normalize vs normalise, color vs colour. Pronunciation examples: toe-may-toe vs ta-matoe, wah-ter vs wuh-ter. There's also plenty of slang differences that exist in all countries.

Those were all good answers. When people American English they mean US English almost always. Never heard them not being used synonymously.

まづ、個々の単語の発音が、違うものがけっこう有りますよ。例えば、doorのことを、アメリカ人はドァと発音しますが、イギリス人はドーと発音するし、orもアメリカ人はオァ、イギリス人はオーなので、それを聞くと、どちらの国の人か、解ります。イントネーションも違います。日本語の標準語と関西弁のイントネーションが違うみたいにです。ただ、英語の場合、どちらが標準語なのかと言うと、本家本元のイギリス英語なのか、世界規模で、たくさんの人が話してるアメリカ英語なのか、分かりません。ちなみに、日本の英検や、高校、大学入試のリスニング問題を吹き込んでいるのは、アメリカ人です。JRの在来線の英語アナウンスは、アメリカ人ですが、新幹線は、イギリス英語ですよ。文法は、同じなんですが、音で解ります。 また、数は少ないけど、同じ物を、違う単語で言ったりします。
