American and British writers and readers spell many words differently. For example, in American it’s fine to say “I realize I need to improve my writing” whereas in the United Kingdom it’s correct to say “I realise I need to improve my writing.” Similarly, a British writer could say “I went into the town centre” whereas an American writer would change that to “I went into the town center”.

Limitations of Using Grammarly Language Preferences
While one of best grammar checkers like Grammarly can be useful, it’s important to keep in mind that it’s not perfect. For example, Grammarly may occasionally miss words in complicated or lengthy documents. So it’s still important to do due diligence and proofread your writing carefully. It’s also less likely to pick up colloquialisms and clichés as that’s a question of style. For more advice, read our guide to changing American English to British English.
