For instance, a lot of people think "our culture" is being subsumed by US culture and way of life (the Coca-Colonisation of the world by McDonalds, Coke, US TV & films, etc.).

Terms of reference are important, so we all approach the discussion from the same point.
It is and it is being accelerated through social media and You Tube. The number of times I have to correct by 9yr old.......Sweets not Candy, Rubbish not Trash etc, etc.

I think it's likely as they get older they'll grow out if it, but some will stick. People using the "US" dictionary when using Word, and just accepting the US spellings.

The adoption of BLM in the UK and the attempt to equate racial issues in the US to the UK, when the two are completely different.

The push for Critical Race Theory to adopted in the UK.

The UK and US are very different, but people seem to think we're not.
