Well, I guess the Brits let Canada run a little wild because we use the "ize" suffix, soccer = football, football = American & Canadian football, we play baseball, and music students use American notation (like 32nd notes are just that - THIRTY-SECOND. Not a
semidemiquaver or whatever other mouthful of syllables is used in British notation).
Plus I think most of you call us Americans anyways until we correct you.
