Please answer this: Read the below conversation. W: Hello, glad to see you here! M: Me, too. How are you going these days? W: I'm OK. What are you doing in the library? M: Oh, recently I'm curious about British English and American English. So I just come here to get some information. They are really about the same, aren't they? W: I don't think so. It seems to me that some of the spellings are different. M: Such as? W: Words like theater and center end in "re" in England instead of "er" like we spell them. M: Can you think of any more examples? W: The word "color" is another case in point. In fact, many words which end in "or" in American English are spelled "our" in British English. M: I'm still not convinced. I mean, if someone comes here from England, we can all understand what he's saying. The spelling doesn't really matter that much. W: We're not just talking about spelling. There are differences in pronunciation and meaning too. I remember seeing an English movie where the actors kept calling their apartment a flat. Half of the movie was over before I realized what they were talking about. M: So there are slight differences in spelling and some vocabulary. W: And in pronunciation, too. You aren't going to tell me that you sound like James Simpson. M: James Simpson isn't English. He's Scottish. W: Okay. Anyway, the pronunciation is different. M: So British English and American English are different in many ways, right? W: Yes, sure. M: But it's not so different that it prevents us from understanding each other. W: That's exactly what I mean. What would the listener say?
