Potaaaatoes or poteitos? Colour or color? Small differences, but annoying for those with English as a foreign language. I was taught British English spelling, grammar and pronounciation in school, but most of the English I hear and read is American English, in movies and on the Internet. It all gets messed up in my head and the result is the dreaded mid-atlantic accent. Neither this nor that. Bleh.
George Bernard Shaw said that "England and America are two countries divided by a common language".
