How is Webster's dictionary different from a British dictionary?
Webster's dictionary is an American English dictionary that was originally written and continues to be edited with American English spellings, definitions and colloquialisms in mind. There are many words in Webster's dictionary that have different definitions than they would in a British dictionary. For example the word "lift" used in America as in "Can I get a lift?" would mean, "Can I have a ride?" In a British dictionary, the word "lift" might refer to an elevator lift. An example of a spelling difference can be seen in the American English word "theater" and the British English word "theatre". These words have the exact same definition and differ only in the way that they are spelled. Despite being recognized as two distinct dialects, American English and British English are mutually intelligible. This means that a speaker of American English should be able to hold a complete conversation with a speaker of British English with negligible difficulty.
