hey dere,

actually there is a difference in the way they pronounce the word ando the grammer also....like for example

in american english dey write colour as "color"

but where as in british english they spell it as "colour".

an another example is that in british english they spell program as " programme"

where as in american english they spell it as "program"

i hope that u got the idea how american english is diffrent than british...Smile [:)]

In the UK there are two kinds of schools:  those funded by the government/state (state schools), and those funded by parents (independent schools, or private schools, or public schools).  Public school is usually confined to describing a small number of long-established private schools such as Eton, Harrow, Rugby and Wellington
