This document discusses the differences between British and American English spellings. It notes that while Shakespeare's spellings varied, Samuel Johnson and John Walker later standardized British English. Noah Webster argued that with American independence, the United States should have its own distinct language and made spellings more phonetic. As a result, American English spellings today often drop silent letters and replace 'our' or 're' with 'er'.
