The differences in grammar are different spellings like : Colour and Color, Theatre and Theater.

yeah this more what I was trying to get at because when you speak it doesn't really matter too much about your accent...but it is weird when I hear...say a spanish person speaking english in a kind of american accent...
but also when you learn english you learn their phrases you know like jam and jelly....
I just noticed that my English-Japanese dictionary is in fact american! lol
but my phrase book is english!!
I think its also about adjustin as well...when I go NY i find myself using american words...anyone else does that???
or just me?! lol
