Hmmm, I think that US English and UK English are more different than German German and Austrian German.
I mean, we have the same dictionaries and everything.
In English sometimes words are spelt a different way in the UK and the US. We don't have that.
It's just two or three words which are different. And some colloquial words.

Hmm, it is different with Switzerland. They use a lot of words we don't use.

Lin, I'm ignoring that comment of yours.
