Hi!

Does anyone have a web site that lists the differences between US and UK spelling and grammar?

It would be really useful!

Thanks

The site below is the most comprehensive compilation of UK/US usage (at least I haven\'t found anything better on the Net):

Americanization Jul 28, 2002

There is an agencie based in London, American Pie, which actually specialises in translation between UK and US English. It is run by a person called Josephine Baker who I believe is a member of the proz.com community. Their website is www.americanization.com I believe.

Hope this helps
