So will the American laugh at British ppl English ? Or English ppl laugh at American English ? Because they speak different English .

Not really they speak more or less the same type of english and it's also established that american, ozzie, england type of english are acceptable.

粒字形字义：形声。字从米，从立，立亦声。“米”指谷籽。“立”指“独立”。“米”与“立”联合起来表示“煮食时仍可分出独立谷籽的主食”。本义：可以分析出独立谷籽的主食。

It's ok bro .. Thanks for posting that answer ... Maybe some brothers can help to translate . Bro I don't even know what the meaning of 囚 and what the pronunciation . Bro , a lot of my Singaporean friends can't even write their own name in Chinese .. Because usually Singaporean write their name in English .

囚 means prisoner. It is pronounced "qiu", like 球.
It has a 人 inside a box/enclosure. So he is imprisoned.

For lovers of 繁体, here is a picture, quite meaningful.
