There are vast differences in culture between Americans and their British Commonwealth counterparts throughout the world.
American English is spoken in the USA, Canada and many Pacific Rim countries where America has exerted an influence.
British English is spoken throughout the British Commonwealth of 54 countries, some of the most notable being the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, with Canada being the exception. Although part of the Commonwealth, Canadians tend to speak a mixture of American and British English due to that country's proximity to the USA (although they spell the British way).
Slang, of course, not only differs between the USA and the Commonwealth, but also between Commonwealth countries.
