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.

100% agreed. I can't stand it when Brits use pointless americanisms. "Cell phone", "sidewalk", "chips" instead of crisps etc.
