    Most differences in UK-US English are due to the US sticking with original pronunciations of words, with changes being made by the UK, OR by the US focusing more on Latin-derived pronunciations of worlds of Latin origin. It’s literally “The US didn’t change the language drastically, the UK just changed the words and pronunciations of things and decided that the ones who didn’t change are wrong”
