A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE TWO MAIN VARIETIES

# data[].attributes.body
In the 17th century, British pilgrims traveled from Plymouth, England, to America. In the second half of the 18th century, a new flood of Irish people settled in America  fleeing away from the Great Famine.
The English these people spoke start changing once they set  foot on American soil. Firstly, they needed to borrow words that referred to things they hadn't seen before on the continent like an stampida or a bufalo. Hence, they borrowed words from the Indian Americans but also from colonizers like the French and Spanish who already had words for the things they had not seen up to that point.

Besides,  within the arrival at the New World of new peoples from other parts  of the continent such as the Germans, Italians and Russians, the language of the English speakers who first arrived to America also evolved towards the American English we know today.

It goes without saying that the wide geographical distance between the two varieties also had an influence on the lexical, phonological and orthographical differences we know today. Let's see some examples of how British and American English differ!
