Shot in the dark:

en = English
enb = British English

Brits make much more of the difference than actually exists. From decades of
watching BBC and BSkyB TV, it is my impression that the major differences
are:

1) Pronouncing R only where there is none, e.g. "Lawr and Odah", "
2) Replacing T and K with glottal stop, e.g. "Hi's a' the bo''om of the
wa'er".

I wro'e this on my compu'eh.

But not correct. Besides lots of differences in spelling (American
English often uses "z" where British English uses "s"), there are also
many different words for the same meaning. Think of "trousers" and
"pants," or "ill" and "sick."

Actually, there is a difference in trousers and pants even in the
US. Trousers usually have a crease and pants are more casual. But,
as you know, pants in the UK are underwear, as is a vest, which we
call a waistcoat :-)

I'll be back home in London tomorrow for the first time in nearly
4 years and I've got to remember things like "Lift", "Ground floor"
and "Flat" :-)

I think you have proved my point. See, I grew up in the US, and lived there
until my thirties, so my English is "American English" by definition. Yet I
use trousers/pants and ill/sick pretty much interchangeably. The
orthographic difference between z and s, in the places where the difference
occurs, is trivial, hardly a matter for defining a distinct language. Brits
often exaggerate these differences.

My first money after I came to this country was made from translation of
Russian scientific texts to English. After I submitted the trial chapter of
the first book, the customer complained to me that I was writing "British
English", instead of the "American English: that he wanted. True, I was
using American spelling, but I had to tell him that I had never been in the
UK, and that American English was the only kind I knew. What he was
expecting was clumsy language, as written by people who don't know how to
write a sentence. N.B.: For years after that, I made a comfortable living
writing technical literature in the best "American English" I could produce.

All that said, there are some special Briticisms or Americanisms that are
usable only on one side of the Atlantic. For example, it is not advisable to
tell a female houseguest that you will knock her up at seven o'clock, unless
you mean it. But that is not how you define a distinct language.

English produces many local dialects, even within the US (and even within
the UK). In Maryland, I had a weekly housemaid from a remote and isolated
community on the Eastern Shore of Chesapeake Bay. I had no difficulty in
understanding her in conversation, because she could speak standard English;
but when she conversed with her friend from the same place, who worked for
my neighbor, I understood nearly nothing. Yet software makers never think of
issuing Eastern Shore versions of software, or New York street versions,
although both of these have their peculiarities.

When I was a kid in the US, youngsters looked forward to their first pair of
"long pants", although these were trousers by your definition. Men's suits
at that time were usuably sold with "two pair of pants', although they were
properly pressed and creased.
Most Americans understand "lift". "Ground floor" is as American as it is
British. I recall "flat" as meaning an apartment in a multi-dwelling
building.

There are, in fact, better examples that you could have chosen, but in
general these are simply local expressions, just as there are local
expressions in England. Speak with anyone from Liverpool or Manchester, and
compare their speech with that of Londoners (which has differences based
even on neighborhoods). Australians have many special expressions: watch any
Australian film to see that the difference between British and Australian
usage is greater than that between British and American, although rarely
mentioned. There is a good bit of agenda in British superciliousness about
"American English".
