The biggest difference for me, and I've only noticed it in fanfiction, is the author will mean plural people or things and will put an apostrophe s on the end. An apostrophe s, means possession for me (as an American). Is this a common thing for Brits and other Commonwealth writers to do? An example would be: the Dursley's (meaning all the family members, going by the context of the sentence).
