Over the years, as no one paid much attention to unify the words, the differences deepened, not only in professional areas, but also in everyday-used words and phrases. These new lexical items reflect a specific lifestyle, activities and, of course, the new political system, and include for example bartender, congress, cowboy, maverick, popcorn, prairie, bury the hatchet, hit the jackpot, etc. (Crystal 248). Most of these words integrated into the Standard English, which means that they are known and used in all countries where English is spoken, regardless of their national varieties. However, there are words specific to American English that set this variety apart from the others, particularly from British English.
