It's really irritating. Apparently a lot of US terms like 'fall' 'sidewalk' were English at the time we settled America. They've hung on to them, but we had a phase of trying to turn everything classical, so Latinised them into autumn and pavement. It's annoying to think they may be more authentically English than we are.
Anyone else get irritated by 'warmer temperatures' 'cheaper prices' etc?
