This is wrong. Britain changed english the American southern accent is most similar to how the british used to speak as far as im aware. The british accent is a more recent invention. It started out as elites in britain wanting to sound different so they could signify their status and it spread from there if i remember right.
The post is about written language though isn’t it?
Other than a few spelling differences, which werent even standardized until recent time, what even are the diffences between written english in britain and the us? On the chinese side they have trad and simp but in english its all the same outside a few misplaced U's i think.
