American (as opposed to English) is hardly an economy version. American
never uses the short English word where a much longer American equivalent is
available. 'Faucet' instead of 'tap'; 'elevator' instead of 'lift';
'automobile' instead of 'car'; 'bomb the bastards' instead of 'send a
gunboat' ... The list goes on.
