'''British English''' is the common name for the standardized version of spoken and written English used in the [[United Kingdom]] and in most British Commonwealth nations.  It differs from standard US English both in its phonology (pronunciation), spelling, and in some grammatical constructs (e.g. some words in US English which take the definite article "the" , such as Hospital or University, do not take an article in British English).

Internationally, it is the de facto standard of proper spoken and written English and most academic organizations regard British English exclusively as "correct" English.
