For some reason in Canada we mix them up, some I use the British way and some I use the American way 😆 It’s funny/interesting to see the differences, I didn’t even realise this xD Here are a few that I know of, if there are other ones I’ll name them 🙂

American:color, while, realize, mom, honor, flavor, neighbor, theater, center, mustache, recognize
British:colour, whilst, realise, mum, honour, flavour, neighbour, theatre, centre, moustache, recognise

Thanks Sarah!
Someone once told me that my English was like a mixture of Serbian and Croatian (probably as a result of what I’d learned in school on one side and the rest that I picked up from the movies etc.) so, since then, I’m trying not to mix though I don’t think I’m 100% successful at it and, besides, my native language is Serbo-Croat after all so… why not BrE – AmE 😛

xD I know what you mean. Same thing with my family since they are from Vukovar so we also speak with a mixture of serbian and croatian 😆 Canadians use of American and British a lot so it’s okay if you mix them up 😀 I do it all the time xD I never heard of sneakers as trainers or garbage as rubbish, so that’s pretty cool 😀 In Serbia, in school do you guys learn English in the British or American dialect? 🙂

It should be British but having in mind all sorts that teach the language, anything is possible 🙂

😀 haha. Here are the ones I found while translating 🙂 The jewellery always confused me
American:Gray, traveled, jewelry, donut, cosy
British:Grey, travelled, jewellery, doughnut, cozy

Jewellery is one of the signs they taught me British at school because I remember the struggle with it 😛
And the grey word always drives me crazy .. .

Jewellery drove me crazy because you learn to spell the word one way, then some people say it is wrong and some say it is right, you don’t know what to do anymore xD
