Webster played a significant part in defining the words that Americans use, and adopted many American English spellings in his dictionary, for example, “color” and “center”. He also added commonly used American words that were not part of the British English dictionaries, such as “squash”. He believed that spelling, grammar, and language usage should be based upon and reflect people’s way of life, enabling those living in different parts of America to communicate in a common language.American and British EnglishActivity 4In Para. 1, why are there such differences b/t A.E. and B.E.?In Para. 2, how does the author make comparisons b/t B.E. and A.E.? theatretheatergashighwaypetrolmotorwayelevatorliftsubwayundergroundapartmentflatAmerican and British EnglishWhyWhatAmerican EnglishVsBritish EnglishHow?Unfamiliar English expressionsActivities 6 7aConversion 3bcConversion 1Conversion 2Unfamiliar English expressionsActivities 6 7 Dim sum is a kind of traditional Chinese
