Answer 1

Ответ:

For 150 years, America was a British colony. At that time British and American English were almost the same. When America won the War of Independence in 1776, it became a free country. In 1782 its cities were proudly called Americans and in 1802 US leaders began to talk about the "American language".

The USA was quickly growing richer and more powerful.

Millions of Europeans came to America to start a new life there. They were from Italy, Germany, Spain, Ireland, France and other countries and all of them brough new words and expressions to the language. The USA became the "melting pot" of many cultures. As a result, English in America began to develop a character of its own and today, there are differences in pronounciation, grammar, vocabulary and spelling between America and British English
