Answer 1

The definitions and examples given above are great -- I just wanted to add something about your formality / informality question.



"Extemporize" is definitely a formal word and you don't hear people use it very often in colloquial speech. The informal version of this word is "off the cuff" and this is used quite often. Some examples:



-- I have to give a presentation at work tomorrow, but I think I'll just do it off the cuff. (meaning without written preparation)

-- I'm not good at speaking off the cuff. I always get so nervous!

-- Our professor can give a two-hour lecture off the cuff!



The word "improvise" is less formal, so you do hear it in daily speech. People also say "make something up" or "throw something together":



-- What was that song you just played? Oh, just something I made up.

-- I didn't have time to go to the grocery store today, so I'll just throw something together for dinner.



Hope that helps! :)

Answer 2

Oh please. Modern English as we know it today started at the end of the Great Vowel Shift in 1750. We've both shared the same English for about 260 years. Fact of the matter that there are more American English speakers than British English speakers, Thus the norm is American, and British can be considered a quaint backwater dialect if you want to get snooty about it. Otherwise just avoid the argument and accept the fact that Amercians can be self-centered at times :)
