They both sound very
It is what happens when a lot of your words are based off: English, French, German, Spanish, Portugese, Dutch, hundreds of Native dialects, and every other language. Since the US was split and used by so many other countries. Picking the simplified and easy to understand goes very well for all those people to translate and understand.
As an Aussie, I hate how Americanized we're becoming. We're a commonwealth country. Our date format is and always was dd/mm/yyyy. I'm hearing a lot of people saying the mm/dd and I cringe.

then you wonder why they get hated the most.
I thought it was called french fries for the cutting technique known as frenching and then fried afterwards
The Brit calls the American "obnoxious" simply for having different words as a result of a language and culture developing separately over an ocean for centuries? Lol, he's the obnoxious here.
Honestly, Pavement, stroller, trash can and sweater all make just as much if not more sense than the british options. Like jumper? How can justify jumper, it doesnt describe the thing at all. At least sweater has SOME connection.
There is no such as American English or British English. There's only English and mistakes.
I think quite a few of the American versions make more sense (like chips and fries), or aren’t at least as bad as they’re suggested to be (like eggplant).
