Items related to The American-British British-American Dictionary
The American-British British-American Dictionary is the first place to turn when you encounter a Briticism or Americanism. The dictionary illuminates differences in vocabulary, usage, pronunciation, spelling, and the history of English, how and why differences arose, and what those differences are. A set of tables include national holidays, kings and queens, and money.
The dictionary is an easy-to-read, light-hearted, and sometimes irreverent catalogue of the 1% difference between American and British English. The tone is deliberately informal, which allows much of the intrinsic humour to shine through, but never at the cost of accuracy or detail.
A special feature is that the entire dictionary is available online, providing numerous complimentary functions such as a searchable database, real-time updates, and author feedback.
