Las palabras que en inglés estadounidense terminan en -or lo hacen en -our en el británico. Ejemplos: color, colour, humor, humour, flavor, flavour, etc.

–ize/-ise

Lo mismo sucede con las palabras que en inglés estadounidense terminan en -ize y que acaban en -ise en el británico: recognize, recognise, patronize, patronise, etc.

La U que se escribe en británico, en las palabras terminadas en -our y derivadas del latín se suprimen en Estados Unidos, (esto no afecta a los monosílabos como “dour, flour, sour”, donde no hay diferencia ) En Estados Unidos se suprime la U del grupo ou en el interior de la palabra. (U.S.A.= mold _Brit. = mould.)

Muchas palabras en Brit. terminan en -re se escriben en U.S.A. -er. U.S.A. = center,Brit. = centre. ( pero no hay diferencia en “acre, lucre, massacre “.

En algunos casos las palabras que en Brit. terminan -ence se escriben -ense en U.S.A.
