Why? Because we can read works written in either American English or British without too much trouble, and understand each other perfectly well as long as we dont use too much colloquial slang(口语俚语). They are the same languageboth are still English.The main differences are in vocabulary for some everyday things. However, most Americans know what trousers are, and Britons and Australians know that “pants” are trousers in an American book or movie. And there are a few small spelling differences. There are some very small grammar differences, but these are too smallmost of them will probably not even be noticed. Im British, and I often read books written in American English, as well as British English. To tell you the truth, I hardly notice the differences.If you want to learn English and use it internationally, learn both kinds. Its not difficultjust a few extra words or spelling
