In some cases, some phrasal verbs differ according to the variety of English spoken. Some include the following:
- In the US, forms are usually but not invariably filled out while in Britain they are usually filled in. However, in reference to individual parts of a form Americans may also use in (fill in the blanks). In AmE the direction fill it all in (referring to the form as a collection of blanks, perhaps) is as common as fill it all out.
- Britons facing extortionate prices may have no option but to fork out, whereas Americans are more likely to fork (it) over or sometimes up; however, the out usage is found in both dialects.
- In both countries, thugs will beat up their victim; AmE also allows beat on (as both would for an inanimate object, such as a drum) or beat up on, which is often considered slang.
- When an outdoor event is postponed or interrupted by rain, it is rained off in the UK and rained out in the US.
