You may be interested to know that in rural areas of the southeastern US, the language tends to be more "British" than "American," although it is truly American, but I mean it tends to use terms and (sometimes) spellings that are commonly considered "British." For example, the use of "trousers" instead of "pants." Historically the southeastern US has also used "British" spellings, though these have been dying out.
They are exactly the same words.it's just that Americans altered the language to their own usage.for example,"Center" instead of "Centre" the letter "e" was moved behind the letter "r"
Next year I'm dedicating my SOUL to my English teaching career, and maybe Japanese and Portuguese for foreigners too. Some teachers said I shouldn't care about knowing EXACTLY how to separate the British English I studied at British school from the American English I'm used to listen on films. I'm not saying they're WRONG for having this opinion, but in my opinions, the DETAILS DO MAKE DIFFERENCE. I'm doing fine for now. I want to do my best. Thank you for this helpful video.
I still use "Defense" instead of "Defence". I do ask my mum to write me a cheque once a month. I've seen "judgement" more times than "judgment". I've seen "forcasted" in past tense vs. "forcast". Forcast is usually about what the weather or event is going to be like. I've spelt "Ok" and "Okay". Although I still spell "Pajamas" instead of "Pyjamas", we use both fall and autumn to describe the same thing.

Good comparisons, except "Holyday" isn't spelt like that, it's spelt "Holiday" with an I to remove the religious meaning.
