Vocabulary
American English and British English
Hi all,
I'm learning new words and picked up a vocabulary book that can help me. The spelling of the book is British Enligsh, but I am learning American English. Would this cause a problem? I'm not really familiar with the difference in spelling between AE and BE.

Again, this affects only a very small proportion of words.
