Well England is part of Britain, so the more correct English is British English. So I'd think British English is easily better. Americans are speaking English - they've just changed a few words; it's not that big a difference.
The main differences between Canadian English and British English are in spelling, vocabulary, and pronunciation. While Canadian English follows more closely to American English in terms of spelling and vocabulary, there are still some British English influences present. Pronunciation in Canadian English also tends to be more similar to American English than British English.
American English may seem more popular as it is used a lot in the Media and TV Shows but generally around the world, more countries do actually speak a variation of British English. This is because America has never had its own colonies in which it could spread American English which is different to the British who introduced British English to all of their colonies around the world during the British Empire.
If you mean what things American and british people have different names for: British - American Bin = trash can rubbish = trash Crisps = chips chips = fries (i think) (car) bonnet = hood Jelly = jello footpath = sidewalk plaster = band aid trainers = sneakers (i think) shopping centre = mall Boot = trunk Car park = parking lot lorry = truck motorway = freeway / highway these are just a few. hope it helped :)
1 Basic American English is older than English English. The transplanted colonials in America were linguistically conservative, and American English retains forms and usages that disappeared from English English. 2 American English is influenced hugely by African speech patterns.
No, American English is pretty distinct from British English at this point, especially what most people think of as a Southern dialect. The closest dialect of American English to British English (I assume you mean BBC British, because British dialects get more disparate the farther down the social ladder they go) is probably something in New England very near the East Coast, or maybeupper-class coastal Southern English. The problem is that the accents have remained more similar than the dialects have.
Because you are American and cannot speak real English. BRITISH PEOPLE FTW
Not really! Im british and I dont mean to bost but im pretty gorgouse!!
There's no such thing as "American." American English is a dialect of English that is more has more than 95% lexical similarity to British English.

British education is regarded to be amongst one of the best in the world.
Since he has an English accent, he would speak British English more than American English (though he does do both). He says a lot of British words like blast! and bloody hell! if you pay attention youll notice.
It isn't- i mean, who doesn't love someone who has a British accent?
English. They left the fledgling US for British colonies because they remained loyal, so it stands to reason they felt more British than American.
The main difference between different than, different from and different to are the countries of origin and where it is used. Different than is common in American English, different to is more common in British English. The term different from is common in both American and British English.
