Differnces In Written English in different Countries
Hi
I was asked by a client to adapt a US English word doc to UK English and after completing the task my client has asked if UK English is same as
Canadian English
Australian English
South African English
I would think Australian and South African would be the same - but not 100% about Canadian English ?
Any advice ?
Or where can I find information on differnces on written english between countries

There's not much difference, if you only consider the spelling. However, they can be very different, depending on what you have to write about: specific words, technical terms, legal jargon, slang, etc. That might be very different and vary from country to country.
