І. American English spelling differs from British English spelling largely because of one man, American lexicographer Noah Webster.
In addition to his well - known American Dictionary of the English Language, Webster published The American Spelling Book (1783, with many subsequent editions), which became one of the most widely used schoolbooks in American history.
Webster’s books sought to standardize spelling in the United States by promoting the use of an American language that intentionally differed from British English.
The development of a specifically American variety of English mirrored the new country’s separate political development.
Webster’s most successful changes were spellings with or instead of our (honor, labor for the British honour, labour) ; with er instead of re (center, theater for the British centre, theatre) ; with an s instead of a c (defense, license for the British defence, licence) ; with a final ck instead of que (check, mask for the British cheque, masque) ; and without a final k (traffic, public, now also used in British English, for the older traffick, publick).
Later spelling reform created a few other differences, such as program for British programme.
Canadian spelling varies between the British and American forms, more British in eastern Canada and more American in western Canada.

English is spoken by over a billion people around the world, in other words, by more than a quarter of the world’s population.
It is spoken as a mother tongue in the UK, in former colonies such as Australia and New Zealand, and of course, by the vast majority of the North American population.
It is the second or official language in most of the former empires, and of course, it is studied as a foreign language all over the world, but particularly in Europe now.
This has made it a truly international language.
It is the language of shipping and aviation, of science and technology and of commerce.
Really, the language spoken by the population of small island in the Northern Hemisphere reached a widespread use.
Its introduction to the New World in the 17th century resulted in this hybrid language becoming the second oldest version of English, and the most widely spoken American English.
Then English and American English went east and south.
The colonization of South America, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa were in different ways and linguistically as well.
In India English now shares the status of the official language.
With Hindi it is spoken by over 70 million people – more than entire population of the British Isles.
So English may be really considered to be an international language!
