But this is a mostly American forum? Why say it is wrong to use the American word? Everyone understands what the poster meant. You wouldn't correct someone using the American billion just because it happened to be about a UK company either.

Seems rude to mis-title something or someone from another culture?
Like all these lunatics yesterday talking about 'Sir Sinclair'.
Calling it a 'college' makes it sound like something less than it is. I would try not to mis-title things from another culture myself.
An undergraduate degree isn't 'college studies' in British English. Nobody would say that.

Why is it wrong to call it a fish? Because it's not a fish.
