Same difference.Believe it or not, Americans (not counting strong accents like Southern, or Boston, that sort of thing) generally pronounce English more accurately than Englishmen! There was a widespread sound change that swept into England from the mainland. And since then, Great Britain has developed all sorts of regional accents, patois, and colloquialisms. American English is much closer to the original standard.
