Obviously there's a slight difference between English and American English. One area that stands out is the use of verbs and nouns.

Three examples -

Advice - Noun
Advise - Verb
"Here's some advice. I advise you to.........."

Tyre - Noun
Verb - Tire
"If you push that car tyre about, it will tire you out"

Licence - Noun
License - Verb
"This alcohol licence issued to the store means they are licensed to sell alcohol"

Any others?
