George Bernard Shaw once supposedly said the United States and Great Britain are two countries separated by a common language.
English for Americans is an English manual suited to all Americans who plan to visit England, or converse with British people. This book explains words that have different meanings or spellings, so avoid mistakes in writing English for Europeans, Canadians and Australians. Without this book, if you are writing a report, for example, you may find that people in England will consider your English is littered with mistakes, even though if read in America it would be regarded as perfect English! So, impress your bosses by correcting American English into English... and vice-versa if you are British and either "travelling" to America, or literature and correspondence is being read by Americans, don't let them think you are illiterate!
