Huh? There are fewer rules in American English. Some say it was because many years ago, early Americans were very uneducated. I think that if Americans did not know how to spell English words, they just spelled them from the sounds.
British English, or "The Queen's English" as we call it, is more acceptable around the world than American English. We don't use American English in Canada.
