Vocabulary

The first complete dictionary of American English was completed in 1828

by a lawyer and lexicographer named Noah Webster. He was the one who
courageously stated that English in the United States was different from English in
the United Kingdom and its surroundings. Winston Churchill (who is proud of his
half-American nationality) once said that Britain and the United States are two
countries separated by one language with many similarities. Here are some
examples of what he has in mind:

Pronunciation
In American English the word :

 can and can not sound very similar

And many Americans have a tendency to reduce words by removing a few

letters. The word :

 "facts" for example in American English is pronounced the same as

the word "fax" - "t" is not pronounced.

In American English, the combination of letters :

 "cl" in words such as "cling", "climat", "club" etc., sounds more

fricative. You can produce this sound by tensing the vocal cords

Word emphasis is sometimes different. For example:

 the word "details" gets an emphasis on the letter "ai" in American

English.
