Greetings, neither of them is superior to the other. Thinking so is pure wishful thinking. There is a lot of literature on the subject, but on the whole, AmE seems more standardised, while BrE preserves traditions.

imantaghavitanx alot dear Gleb that was so helpfulRespectfully, imantaghavi, "tanx" is neither American nor British, but text-style jargon. If you're going to write with so-called words like that, it doesn't matter which path you claim to follow.
Please rember that English requires capital letters and punctuation to be correct.
Also, "a lot"

Greetings, dear friends,
Barbara's advice is as sound as ever. Even 'tanx' is strange as an IM abridgement; illiterate and hasty Internet users usually use one of the following to say 'thanks/thank you' (as if these words were the same length as the word antidisestablishmentarianisms): THNQ, TY, TUVM, TYVM, 10X, TX, TNX. Don't use them, however, it's no good.
