ActuallyIt's 'British' English that has evolved, whereas American English is much, much closer to that which was spoken around colonial times.
Not trying to be pedantic, I'm a TEFL teacher and have to teach both forms. I also believe it's unnecessary to add the qualifier when describing the vocabulary used in the UK; however for non-English speakers, it is normally required.
