British English is the variety most commonly
taught worldwide, mainly because of the
historical expansion of the British Empire and the
cultural prestige associated with the United
Kingdom. However, American English has also
become highly influential due to the United
States’ political, economic, and cultural impact.
As a result, students often encounter vocabulary
differences between these two major varieties.
