I've long been intrigued not only by the different vocab and spellings that they have in England and the Commonwealth, but also the different grammar. They'll say, "NatWest apologize for the inconvenience" as if all the people at the bank were sorry, while we say "Chase apologizes."
One grammatical quirk that really charms me is the when they say, "This is different *to* that" instead of "This is different from that." I really can't make a strong argument about which is more correct. I just love the way do it more.
