This is because Australian spellings typically follow British English conventions, so the same differences apply. For instance, words like ‘colour’ and ‘centre’ become ‘color’ and ‘center’ in US English. There are also minor grammar and punctuation differences, such as whether to favour ‘single’ (AUS) or “double” (US) quote marks. However, Australian English does follow American English in using ‘program’ instead of ‘programme’.   British English is the standard dialect of the English language as spoken and written in the United Kingdom. Variations exist in formal, written English in the United Kingdom.  British English – Australian and British English have a lot in common, but they do differ in some ways. The main differences are related to vocabulary. However, British English also uses different spellings for some words, such as ‘encyclopaedia’ instead of ‘encyclopedia’. And it accepts spelling variants that Australian English does not, such as -ize endings in words like ‘organize’. There are minor grammatical differences, too. For example, British English sometimes uses plural verbs with collective nouns (e.g. saying ‘The team are playing’ rather than ‘The team is playing’).  Canadian English – Canadian English is essentially a mix of British English and American English. As such, it shares some features with Australian English (e.g. the spellings ‘colour’ and ‘centre’), but it also differs in other ways (e.g. preferring -ize spellings of words like ‘realize’).  Philippine English (similar and related to American English) is any variety of English native to the Philippines, including those used by the media and the vast majority of educated Filipinos. English is taught in schools as one of the two official languages of the country, the other being Filipino (Tagalog). Due to the highly multilingual nature of the Philippines, code-switching such as Taglish (Tagalog-infused English) and Bislish (English infused with any of the Visayan languages) is prevalent across domains from casual settings to formal situation REFERENCES  https://en.islcollective.com/preview/201207/f/fun-sheet-british-english-vs-american-english-fun-activities-games- grammar-drills-icebreakers-on_27804_1.jpg  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_English  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_English  https://proofreadmydocument.com.au/writing-tips/dialects-australian-english/
