American and British people use different greetings. In the USA , the commonest greeting is ¡°Hi¡±. In Britain , it is ¡°Hello!¡± or ¡°How are you?¡±. ¡°Hi!¡± is creeping (²»Öª²»¾õµØ½øÈë) into British, too. When they are introduced to someone, the Americans say, ¡°Glad to know you.¡± The British say, ¡°How do you do?¡± or ¡°Pleased to meet you.¡± When Americans say ¡°Good-bye¡±, they nearly always add, ¡°Have a good day.¡± or ¡°Have a good trip.¡± etc. to friends and strangers alike. Britains are already beginning to use ¡°Have a good day.¡±
The British usually use ¡°got¡± in the sense of ¡°have¡±. The Americans hardly ever do.
AmE:Do you have a car room,etc.? Yes,I do.
BrE: Have you got a car room, etc.? Yes, I have.
There are a number of differences between American and British English in the spelling of words, e.g. check (US)/cheque (UK). Many American words ending in ¡°or¡±, e.g. honor, labor are spelt in British English with an ¡°our,¡± e.g. honour, labour. Many verbs in American English with ¡°ize¡± or ¡°izing¡± forms, e.g. organize, realizing are spelt in BrE with ¡°ise¡± or ¡°ising¡±, e.g. organise, realising. In American English, ¡°practice¡± is used both for the verb and noun. In BrE, the verb is spelt ¡°practise¡±, and the noun ¡°practice.¡± In American English, one writes ¡°traveler,¡± while in British English, one writes ¡°traveller¡±.
It was once predicted ( Ô¤²â ) that British and American English would become separate ( ¶ÀÁ¢µÄ ) languages finally. But the opposite has happened. The links (ÁªÏµ) between the two countries are so strong that linguistically (ÓïÑÔÉϵØ), and probably culturally (ÎÄ»¯ÉϵØ) too, they are closer together than ever.
