Hello all,

I am a technical writer working in India for an Indian software product
company. I am asked to write in "American English".

Can you guide me what is "American English", or "writing for an American
audience".

Is it about use of specific terminologies or about sentence structure or
something else.


You might want to check out this section of
the Wikipedia entry on "Differences Between
American and British English":
