I asked my BF (he is from UK) and he sent me this

The English Language is fairly a simple one as stated above. 26 letters, no scripts and no change in voice necessary. Yet there are times that two persons who know English perfectly well may tend to misunderstand each other. And sometimes they also have a hard time making out what the other individual is saying. Ever heard of the two ways the word tomato can be pronounced? You can say it as \"Toh-may-toh\" or \"Toh-mah-toh\" and still be correct. This is because English can be classified as American, British and Australian. American English is the form and dialect used in the United States, British in the United Kingdom and Australian in Australia.

Let's start with the two major classifications, namely the American and the British. One of the simple differences between the two is how nouns are used. For example, in British English, the sentence \"Blink182 are a famous rock band\" is correct. But in American English, the sentence goes something like \"Blink 182 is a famous rock band\". This difference occurs with general terms and proper nouns. But if the proper noun was in plural form, then there is no difference.

In Australian English, they basically have the same grammatical rules followed by the British. The aspect that makes Australian English original from the two are Australian dialects, slang and pronunciation which are a bit strong and hard to comprehend the first time. You see, Australian English rules are governed by the rules on one of either American English or British English. After all, Australia has much stronger ties to the British culturally.

Summary

British Colonization was the start of English being widely used globally
English is considered to be the universal language of the world.
American, British and Australian are varieties of English with their own pronunciations.
