what's the difference between "insolence" & "rudeness"
Is it the case of formal & informal or is it the case of British -American use?
or there is really some difference?

Hello!
The meaning of "rudeness" is the quality of being offensive or not polite.
and
The meaning of "insolence" is rude and disrespectful behavior.
So the official meanings of these words are similar, but I would say that in everyday English "insolence" would be a better word to describe the behavior of a child or young person that is rude or disrespectful. and
"rudeness" would be a better word to describe the behavior of an adult who is being offensive or impolite.
I hope that helps!

(American version)
Rudeness = any type of bad manners
Insolence = disrespecting your boss or someone in a "higher" position.
The official explanation may be different, but this is how I think of these concepts.
