American English vs. British English In the early 18th century, English spelling was not standardised. Differences became noticeable after the publishing of influential dictionaries. Today’s British English spellings follow, for the most part, those of Samuel Johnson’s A Dictionary of the English Language, whereas many American English spellings follow Noah Webster’s An American Dictionary of the English Language. Webster was a strong proponent of English spelling reform for reasons both philological and nationalistic. Many spelling changes proposed in the United States by Webster himself, and in the early 20th century by the Simplified Spelling Board, never caught on. Among the spelling reform supporters in England, the influence of those who preferred the Norman (or Anglo-French) spellings of words proved to be decisive. Later spelling adjustments in the United Kingdom had little effect on today’s American spellings and vice-versa. In many cases, American English strayed in the 19th century from mainstream British spelling, but it has also kept some older spellings.
