We have considerably more than 'two Englishes'.
There's Indian English, Australian English, South African English, various shades of Caribbean English, Canadian English, etc., etc. Even within the United Kingdom, you can find more differences between, say, East Anglian English and Scots English than between standard British English and American English.

Here are some examples from both Englishes.
British Examples: Aeroplane, aluminium, chips, and colour.
American Examples: Airplane, aluminum, french fries and color.
With these differences in mind I ask you which one is better to use for writing and grammar? If you say British then should Americans learn it as well?
In my opinion I think both are great I mean there is no reason to hate both Englishes. I think the only reason why we have two Englishes is because of culture when America gained its independence I think they wanted their own identity and be different than the British like with the words Aeroplane and chips. But I do think Americans should learn how to spell British words like colour and aluminium since the British were the ones that set up the English language.
What do you say NSG? Do you prefer American or British English? And should Americans use British spelling in their writing?
