British English still retains a spelling that is predominantly French. Meanwhile, American English is spelled more often in almost the same way it is pronounced, and American English eliminates unnecessary letters.American English dialects usually pronounce the letter ‘r’ by rolling their tongue back and tightening the roof of the mouth whereas British dialects don’t pronounce the ‘r’ in words, especially if they come at the end of the word.
