English is spoken as a first language by several countries including Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, and the United States While all of these countries share the same mother tongue, there are some differences in the way they speak and write The first difference is in the accent Each country has its own accent And within each country there are a variety of accents called regional accents Another difference is the spelling of some words, like color and colour, or theater and theatre And a third difference is that some of the words are not the same at all For example, Americans say restroom, Canadians say washroom, and the British say W.C (water closet.) But all of these words have the same meaning (the room where the toilet is located.)
