I seem to remember reading somewhere that US English is closer to Elisabethan English than British English is, so they are probably right.

It's always fun skewering pedants who pour scorn on all US English: all too often one can just point out that they've preserved a form that was common in English three hundred years ago with a perfect etymological lineage (e.g. the spellings of tire & curb, or 'plew', the past tense of 'plough'). Not that I like US English, but that's usually taste rather than logic.

I still like the idea (true or not) that US English is the way it is to save money on telegrams.

Of course US English is not homogenous. Both accent and language vary considerably.
