   English is the official language and common language in both America and England, and it’s also the widely communicative language in the world. The English language was first introduced to the America by British colonization, beginning in the late 16th century. So, there are two major regional variants, British English and American English. The differences between American English and British English once caused George Bernard Shaw said that the United States and Britain are “two countries pided by a common language”. Coincidentally, the famous British writer Oscar Wilde also mockingly wrote: "it can be said, now we and the United States is exactly the same in various aspects in addition to the language." What will happen to them in future? This problem has been widely concerned about English Linguistics and English education.

But after the first World War, the United States national strength increased a lot, American English has become British English’s competitor. Especially after the Second World War, the rapid development of the mass media, American English produced a significant impact to British English, especially the influence about American’s pronunciation and vocabulary in British English has increased. In fact, in the development of the modern English, American English and British English are highly interrelated and mutually reinforcing. 英式英语和美式英语在历史起源和语言学上的差异:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_39236.html
