According to some history wags, we can cite Noah Webster and his dictionary as a big part of the reason Brit and American English is so different. He apparently believed words should be spelled closely to how they sounded. More importantly, he believed America should have its distinct culture and language. So, he set about to make the US language different than the mother tongue.
