Is there a difference in linking between British English and American English?

English learners sometimes notice the differences between British English and American English. In fact, there are many kinds of English in the world, not only English and American English. There are many different American English dialects in America alone. If you have been to Boston, new york, Miami, Dallas and Los Angeles, you will find that the pronunciation, vocabulary and even grammar in these places are slightly different from those in other places. Similarly, if you have been to London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Dublin and other places in the UK, you will also find differences among cities.

If you meet an American and an Englishman at the party, you can tell them through their conversation in a few minutes. The most obvious clues are of course pronunciation, such as dancing, butter, no, birds and so on. Not only the pronunciation of consonants and vowels is different, but also the stress position is often different.

The second most obvious difference between English and American English is the words used. The same thing is called differently in America and Britain. Here are some of the most common examples:
