Interesting Facts About British English (Spell Check)

British English (spell check) (BrE) is a term used to differentiate between the form of the English (spell check) language used in the British Isles and those used elsewhere. It includes all the varieties of English (spell check) used within the Isles, including those found in England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. The term is used especially by those outside the British Isles, as well as by linguists and lexicographers; British people themselves generally use the term 'Standard English (spell check)' or, rather more commonly, merely 'English (spell check)'.

As with many other aspects of British culture, the English (spell check) language as spoken in the United Kingdom and Ireland is governed by convention rather than formal code: there is no equivalent body to the Académie française, and the authoritative dictionaries (e.g. Oxford English (spell check) Dictionary, Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (spell check), Chambers Dictionary, Collins Dictionary) record usage rather than prescribe it. As a result there is significant variation in grammar, usage, spelling, and vocabulary within English (spell check) as used in the UK, and lively, idiomatic uses of the language are commonplace. In addition, vocabulary and usage change with time; words are freely borrowed from other languages and other strains of English (spell check), and neologisms are frequent.

While there is a meaningful degree of uniformity in formal written English (spell check) in the United Kingdom, the forms of spoken English (spell check) used vary considerably more than in most other areas of the world where English (spell check) is spoken. Dialects and accents vary not only between the nations of the UK, for example in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, but also within these countries themselves. The written form of the language, as taught in schools, is universally the same as in the rest of the English (spell check)-speaking world (except North America), with a slight emphasis on words whose usage varies amongst the different regions of the UK. For example, although the words "wee" and "little" are interchangeable in some contexts, one is more likely to see "wee" written by a Scot than by an English (spell check) person.

For historical reasons dating back to the rise of London in the 9th century, the form of language spoken in London and the East Midlands became standard English (spell check) within the Court, and thus the form generally accepted for use in the law, government, literature and education within the British Isles. Although British English (spell check) is often used to denote the English (spell check) spelling and lexicon used outside the US, this usage is not completely accurate, as almost all British spelling rules and the vast majority of British vocabulary are actually shared among the whole English (spell check)-speaking world outside the US (except Canada as far as lexicon is concerned). The British spellings were most famously recorded in Samuel Johnson's A Dictionary of the English (spell check) Language (1755).

Historically, the widespread usage of English (spell check) across the world is attributed to the former power of the British Empire, and hence the most common form of English (spell check) used by the British ruling class that of south-east England (the area around the capital, London, and the ancient English (spell check) university towns of Oxford and Cambridge). This form of the language is associated with Received Pronunciation (RP), which is still regarded by many people outside the UK (especially in the United States) as "the British accent". However, even RP has evolved quite markedly over the last 40 years.

From the second half of the 20th century to the present day, the preeminence of the English (spell check) language has been augmented by the economic, military, political and cultural dominance of the United States in world affairs. Thus the United States, born out of former British colonies, acted to perpetuate the dominance of English (spell check).

The form of English (spell check) spoken and written in the United Kingdom still has a major cultural influence, in particular on the English (spell check) used, as a first or additional language, in many Commonwealth countries (including Australia, India, South Africa, New Zealand and, to some extent, Canada), as well as in the European Union; British English (spell check) is also taught and used in the former British colonies of Hong Kong, Singapore, Brunei and Malaysia.
