But to my mind the American writing style always feels much more wordy/repetitive than the British. Yes, the British style may use longer sentences and contain more clauses, but allows for much more elegance and nuance. But looking at a text as a whole, I often feel that prose written in the American style could be trimmed by at least 20% (by an experienced editor) simply due to repetitions and unnecessary sentences (which may be short in themselves) and sections.

I take up article writing assignments and many a times have to adapt a particular writing style per clients' demand. I can tell you changing your own style to match a particular English speaking audience is very difficult or perhaps I am not a very good actor! Thanks for the tips.
