Title: A to Zed, A to Zee - A Guide to the Differences Between British and American English Author(s): Glenn Darragh Pages: 128 Publisher: Editorial Stanley Publication date: 2000 Language: English Format: PDF ISBN-10: 8478733469 ISBN-13: Description: This book is intended for Americans and
Britons who want to understand each
other better, and for foreign students of
either American or British English who
want to familiarise (or familiarize)
themselves with the other main variety
of the language. According to George
Bernard Shaw, the United States and
England are two great nations separated
by a common tongue. In fact, most of
the time the two peoples understand
each other fairly well, or think they do.
The accent is different, of course, but it
presents no more of a barrier than any
regional accent would. Differences in
grammar, syntax and spelling are
relatively minor. The main differences,
and they are huge, are lexical and
cultural.
