Despite
differences in vocabulary, the spoken English of USA and Britain was still
essentially the same until 1776. After the Declaration of Independence, the
patriotism of the newly independent United States of America found its
linguistic expression in Noah Webster. His first books, on English spelling and
grammar, were extremely successful. He was an icon for American English.
In 1828, he
published An American Dictionary of the
English Language, which was the foundation of American lexicography, and
was held in similar esteem to Johnson´s Dictionary
in England. Webster´s aim was to show the way the language was developing
independently in America. He introduced several spelling reforms, which
resulted in spellings as color, center,
defense, and traveler.
