The pronunciation [発音] is a little different. In US English, the "tor" in "doctor" sounds like "er". In UK English, the "tor" in "doctor" sounds like the Japanese た. This video demonstrates some of the differences: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nAnT3PASak The grammar [文法] and word choice is sometimes different. US: "I went on a holiday." UK: "I went on holiday." US: "Which team is winning?" UK: "Which team are winning?" ["is" is also okay] US: "Did you do your homework yet?" UK: "Have you done your homework yet?" US: "I don't need to finish my homework tonight." UK: "I needn't finish my homework tonight." US: "I'm going to take a bath." UK: "I'm going to have a bath." The spelling[スペル] is often different. US, UK humor, humour theater, theatre defense, defence realize, realise We have different words for the same things. 日本語, US, UK 紙幣, bill, note タバコ, cigarette, fag クッキー, cookie, biscuit ガソリン, gasoline, petrol ズボン, pants, trousers 薬剤師, pharmacist, chemist サッカー, soccer, football トランク, trunk, boot パンツ, underwear, pants 休暇, vacation, holiday

@michael62511 very nice and detailed post! However I don't think Americans say "I went on a holiday." It's usually "vacation."

@overbyen That's true, it is usually vacation. I was trying to demonstrate... ugh I forget the right term for it. Institutional nouns? That's probably wrong. But some words like "school" or "church" don't need an article [in both American and British English] when used ... in that sense. "I went to school." "I went to church." In British English, it is correct to say, "I went on holiday." In American English it would not only be a bit strange [since we usually use vacation], but grammatically incorrect to use "holiday" without an article ["a" or "the"]. That's what I was thinking, but I did have second thoughts about including it as an example. Maybe I shouldn't have?

@michael62511 Ohhh okay, I see you're talking about. That was actually a good point you brought up about the articles, although "holiday" probably wasn't the best example since we encountered some confusion there :D I think "in hospital" [UK] vs. "in the hospital" [US] is a common example.
