The Main Differences Between British English and American English
The English language is a global medium of communication with two predominant forms: British English and American English. These two varieties serve as the foundation for millions of speakers worldwide. However, they differ significantly in vocabulary, spelling, grammar, pronunciation, and usage. Understanding these distinctions is essential for anyone who wants to communicate effectively across cultural and linguistic boundaries. This essay explores the key differences between British and American English and explains why these differences matter.
Vocabulary
One of the most noticeable differences is in the words each variety uses. Many words differ entirely for the same concept. For example, British English uses the word "flat" to describe a living space, while American English uses the word "apartment." Similarly, a "lorry" in British English is a "truck" in American English, and "petrol" becomes "gas."
Even some common words have different meanings depending on the variety. For instance, in British English, the word "pants" refers to underwear, but in American English, "pants" means trousers. These differences can cause confusion, which is why understanding the context is so important. Both varieties also have unique idiomatic expressions. For example, in British English, the phrase "fancy dress" refers to a costume, but Americans would call this a "costume party."
Spelling
Spelling differences between British and American English developed as the result of historical changes. British English spells the word "colour" with a "u," while American English spells it "color." Another example is the British spelling "centre," which is written as "center" in American English: https://youtu.be/hzLVVTbqgcAhttps://youtu.be/hzLVVTbqgcA

#8　Summer Onomatopoeias（夏のオノマトペ Natsu no onomatope）

In this episode, I attempt to illustrate the sound and rhythm of Old Norse through a parody saga: The Saga of Ragnar the Cat and His Fish.
What begins as a royal Sunday scene soon turns into a tragicomic meditation on fish, fate, and feline philosophy. The noble Ragnar Kǫttr, fish-king of Frogner, sits deep in thought at his table, carving shavings from a dried cod while his anxious bird-servant reminds him that Monday is near. What follows is a ritual of guilt, wisdom, and the burning of fish bones — told in the stately cadence of an Icelandic saga.
Through this humorous retelling, I explore how Old Norse language, sounds, syntax, and storytelling traditions can be reimagined today — blending philology, parody, and pure absurdity.
1. Sá atburðr varð á einum sunnudegi, at Ragnarr Kǫttr, fiskkonungr af Frogneri, sat í hásæti sínu yfir borði.
2. Hann hafði svá djúpa hugsan um fisk ok speki, at hann gáði eigi stundanna.
3. Hann hafði kníf í hendi ok telgði flísar af þurrum þorski.
4. Kjøkenþjónninn, fugl lítill ok hræddr, stóð fyrir honum ok helt fiskfat.
5. Hann sá hvat konungr gerði ok skildi, at hann sjálfr hugði at ǫðru — líklega at fiskins eðli ok örlǫgum.
6. Þá mælti fuglinn lágt: “Mánadagr er á morgin, herra fiskhyggjumaðr!”
7. Ragnarr leit til hans, er hann heyrði þetta, ok mintisk þá hvat hann hafði gǫrt: hann hafði etit alla sunnudagslaxinn einn.
8. Síðan bað hann fœra sér kertisljós — eigi til iðrunnar, heldr til skemmtanar.
9. Hann sópaði saman fiskbeinum ǫllum í hǫnd sér, þeim er hann hafði gnat.
10. Þá brá hann þeim í logann ok lét brenna bein í lófa sér, sem helga fórn fisksins anda.
11. Þaðan mátti marka, at hann myndi fast halda sín lǫg ok boðorð,
12. ok vilja eigi yfir ganga þat, er hann vissi réttast — at engi fiskr skyldi deilask meir.
