The English used in different parts of the world differs in many ways.
There are differences in pronunciation and spelling of the British and
American terms. For example, Americans and Englishmen will
pronounce differently the words clerk, dance, necessary, etc.
Americans write labor, the British write labour, Americans write
center, the British write centre. And in the many countries where
English is used, the slang and idiomatic expressions are different , too.
The English language is interesting because it varies from place to place,
and because it is a living, ever-changing language. Nevertheless,
Americans, Englishmen, Canadians and people from many other parts
of the far-spread English-speaking world have little or no difficulty in
understanding one another.
It is necessary to make a vocabulary.
