‘Nightstand’ etc, why is Harry using Americanisms?

[HolidayHideaway]

Is ‘nightstand’ etc down to the USA ghost writer? Appealing to USA audience?

He lives in America now, he's probably picked some up?

Does it really matter?

Assimilation is a good thing, no?

Yes, am sure you’re right. Just noticing tone & words as I read.

Have you never picked up words/phrases from people you spend time with?

I bet he's learned the word extreme weather flooding too by now

One of the Times articles said they had to rewrite it for the UK because his language has gone very American!

Harry didn't write the book. It will be what he's said in the interviews with the author but not his exact words.

He not only lives there but also lives with an American so it’s hardly surprising.

Because it was ghost written by an American author (JR Moehringer)
