2 reasons:\n\n1. In many former colonies, 'English is used to dfine the imperial British empire, while 'British' is used to define the current, friendly 'United Kingdom'. THis can get especially funny here in America, where britian is both our greatest ally and the people we shot at to become a country.\n\n2. Before and during the change from 'Britian' to the 'United Kingdom' it was considered 'polictally correct' to refer to oneself as 'British', an inisuation that the old ethnities (irish, Welsh, Brition, Scottish, etc.) were no longer important, but that everyone belong to the unitied kingdom's 'british' ethnicithy. This backfired in the scottish and irish cultures and the use of the term 'English' is often seen as assoiciating oneself with the old, imperial empire.\n\nAmericians have a simliar issue with the term 'conferate' or 'southern dixie'.

For a start, you'd have to change a lot of vocabulary. It amazes me how British people are completely au fait with American vocabulary like 'sidewalk', 'pants' and 'egg plant', but when a British person mentions 'the pavement', 'trousers' or 'aubergine' then it's blank faces time.\n\nAnother aspect of British English is that there are so many variations and accents. If i were to speak with a Yorkshire accent, in some cases it could almost be unintelligable to a Londoner.\n\nIt would be almost impossible to 'learn' an accent, just to pick up bits of it. \n\nI'd guess some main starting points would be not drawling vowels and opening them. (as in 'darling' not 'dahling'). Also, the word 'like' is only used as a comparative adjective, not as a word that is put in a sentance wherever you feel like putting it!

No, they are not the same. The first one is grammatically incorrect & should not be used. The second is grammatically correct & is used in the context of the comparison e.g "Isn't there the same problem in the English government as in the American government, in regards to international trade?"
