British-American differences
George Bernard Shaw once said: You should be aware of the differences between British English and American English so that you can adapt your style of communication to the situation. I have prepared the following checklist of British and American differences. Watch out for: differences in spelling, such as theatre (British English) and theater (American English) words that are completely different, i.e. pavement (British English) and sidewalk (American English) identical words which have totally different meanings, i.e. second floor in British English is first floor in American English and words that can be quite safe in British English but dangerous in American English, or vice versa, e.g. to knock up means to wake someone up by knocking on their door in Britain, but to make a woman pregnant in America.

Grammar
British English American English

Americans often use the simple past where the British use the present perfect: He has just arrived. He has already done that. I have got that. He just arrived. He already did that. I got that.

Americans use gotten for the past participle of get: Ive got to know him very well. Ive gotten to know him very well.

Americans often use different prepositions: You can reach me on 138495. Lets meet at the weekend. Mark works Monday to Friday. He works in a shop in Mayfield Avenue. You can reach me at 138495. Lets meet on the weekend. Mark works Monday through Friday. He works in a shop on Mayfield Avenue.
