Alternative spelling of words.
i.e. "synchronised" instead of "synchronized". (The second one is identified as a spelling mistake to my browser, but is correct in US English).

There are also some grammatical differences, i.e. where the period is placed when brackets are used at the end of a sentence, and where the comma is placed at the end of a quote.

Really? Could you give an example? I thought the differences among different variants of English are mainly in spelling and vocabulary… This is very interesting and completely new for me…

Australian English is very similar to British English in many ways, so this link is a good example of the difference between en-AU and en-US as well:
Comma - used in quotes (en-US puts comma inside quotation even if it's not a part of the original quotation, whereas British/Aussie English puts it outside).
Same applies with the full stop. http://www.englishforums.com/English/IsFullStopAfterQuotationMarks/dwxxx/post.htm Full stop (UK/Aus name) or Period (US name) goes inside the quote for US english, and outside the quote for UK/Aussie english.
There's also some differences with the use of a full stop in titles: "Mr" and "Mr." - Full stop - titles
As for the full stop with brackets / parentheses, I'm not too sure about that one any more. This page seems to suggest that it is not a difference between regions as I have always thought, but a difference based on the context. So I'll need to look into this one a bit more.

This is so curious! I have never seen something like this:
Thanks, Shane, for the explanation. I think I will investigate this a little bit more, since I find it really interesting…

Please let me know if you find out anything interesting, in particular when a full stop is used in relation to brackets / parentheses. I still think that there might be some kind of regional / cultural differences for that as well, between the US, UK and Australian English.
