    There are four ways which British and American English differ from each other. The first and most obvious way is in the vocabulary. There are a few (differ) in grammar, too. The British say Have you got…? Americans prefer Do you have…? The British use prepositions Americans sometimes omit them. The other two areas in which the two varieties are different are spelling and (pronounce). However, with communications (develop) (steady) for over a century, some experts believe that the two varieties (move) closer together due to satellite TV and the Internet. English (speak) with different accents; in the future, there are going to be many "Englishes". In spite of this, users of English will have no difficulty (understand) each other.
