DH using American words... AIBU?

[Sleeplesss]

I met my DH 10 years ago and we have a really good relationship. One thing, though, that has always bugged me a little is that he uses some American words. Think along the lines of calling a lift and elevator or calling a mobile phone a cell phone. I have never made an issue of this but normally correct him in a jokey way rather than make a fuss of it. Tonight he said cell phone and I did the jokingly correcting him thing and he has got really upset with me. Saying I'm making him feel stupid. Obviously that is not what I'm trying to do but at the same time, it really really grates in me. I explained to him, in the nicest possible way, that if it were me, I'd rather be corrected as it's a habit I'd want to break. He's been to America once and doesn't have any American friends/family so it obviously must come from watching American tv. When I suggested that to him, he said that I don't know that for certain. Yes I do, where else could it possibly come from?

So I'm just wondering, is it wrong of me to want him to break this habit? AIBU?

On one level I think YABU, I don't mind americanisms, I lived in America, my DH speaks English as a second language and learnt it in America, so he says a lot of American things. I don't usually bat an eyelid. But then on the other hand YANBU because there exists knobs, who have never been to America or if they have it was for a few weeks here and there, so I can understand why it grates on you. I have a friend that spent a month in America , 20 years. She came back saying "gotten" and she's said it ever since. I love her to bits but... for fucks sake....every time she says it, I die a little more inside.

Gotten is quite normal in my part of the UK 🙄

The word rutabaga comes from the Swedish 'rottebagge'
So y'all are complaining about a Swedishism
No one is complaining, we just want a hot American to offer us some!!

I definitely need a good rutabagering.... it sounds filthy

You'd need to put a plastic sheet down.

And some ice for your clianthro afterwards

A big part of me wants to say YABVU but in all honesty I would find it unbearably irritating too. It's something 15 year olds do to sound cool. A grown man doing it would seem plain silly.

And some ice for your clianthro afterwards

ROAR!!

Hah, you'd hate some of my friends as we mix words from several languages depending on what suits.

And the irony of complaining about American influence when everything is so Anglo centric anyway. Not to mention the firm belief that some posters have that learning any other language is a waste of time.

As a side note, it depends a lot of when you choose to correct someone's pronounciation- DP occasionally did this when we're arguing/ debating and it didn't go down well. I pointed out I can tell him to fuck off in several languages.
