Brits are a shrinking hemoroid.

American is a younger and cruder version of Briitish English.

And that's why the line is 35 million heads long...

It's lovely.

Most archaisms are; that's often why we choose to use them.

UK mostly seems to mostly use 'has got' for possession

Here's a tip; if anyone's doing a Cambridge language exam, they may well get extra marks for (to be) + got, rather than have. To do with coherence and register.

''He owns a great deal of patience'. Is that usage found anywhere in the B-Isles?

No, not at all, though it's heard on Aussie soaps.

And when/where id 'different to' appear? I hate that one... just sounds wrong

Quite, though it's common. Of course "from" is correct however in Standard English, "than" has started to appear, probably due to Netflix, Hollywood etc.
