Somewhere I have a huge book on English grammar, currently out of reach.
About a thousand pages if I recall correctly.
And it covers only British and American English, and the foreword kind of
apologises for not coverint Indian English.

And it's kind of amazing how these different versions have grammatical
differences, not kust spelling and vocabulary.

Unfortunately, it's currently not accessible, so I can't give you any
examples.
