English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, and you’ll find its more than 1 billion speakers just about everywhere. (It’s fun to note that scientists have even taken the English language to Antarctica!)But there are two particular groups of English speakers we’ll focus on in this article—and they are the ones who live on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, or what the Brits like to call “the pond.” If you’ve enjoyed some British football, puzzled over a British biscuit, or just watched a little Peppa Pig with your kids recently, we probably won’t surprise you when we say there are some key differences in how English functions in the United States versus the United Kingdom.Let’s take a quick look at some fun and noteworthy examples of how English vocabulary, slang, spelling and pronunciation can vary depending on your location.

For example, the words apple and chair refer to the same objects in both versions of English. For the most part, speakers of American English and British English won’t have much trouble at all understanding one another when it comes to vocabulary.However, there are many examples of the same thing being referred to by different words depending on if you are using American or British English. For a well-known example, British English uses the word football to refer to the sport that Americans know as soccer. For the sport that Americans know as football, Brits use the term … American football.This is far from the only example, though. Here are just a few more examples of two different words being used to refer to the same thing:French fries/fries (American) vs. chips (British)cotton candy (American) vs. candyfloss (British)apartment (American) vs. flat (British)garbage (American) vs. rubbish (British)cookie (American) vs. biscuit (British)green thumb (American) vs. green fingers (British)parking lot (American) vs. car park (British)pants (American) vs. trousers (British)windshield (American) vs. windscreen (British)We can find similar examples when we look at slang words.
