Well, TBH, "banning employees from using certain everyday terms because they have specific legal usages and the company can be sued for $$$ if the words were taken out of context" is one of the most American things I can think of.

Manager at a multi-national corporation. This definitely isn’t unique to the US. If anything, it’s more ubiquitous in regions with higher degrees of regulation.

The whole thing has been taken out of context here. It’s basically just “here’s how you avoid saying anything that can be taken out of context and used against us”.
