Ah, fair, and nope I'm US based but I basically have what I've concluded must be an abnormal desire for accuracy and specificity with language. I just prefer and appreciate nuanced, specific meanings. But I'm also well aware that vocabulary and grammatical rules are only ever just guidelines - language is a living thing defined by the people that use it, by the way that they all choose to use it - it's all essentially just this massive consensus with a rich and detailed topology, and I love that part too. So I'm not even very consistent when it comes down to it, lol.
