@infobeautiful Many of these are just using an objectively more sensible term, like "train station," "cupcake," "pharmacy," or "vacation."

"Zee" is also a lot more reasonable than "zed" when considered in the context of the names of every other letter of the alphabet.

Pronouncing "schedule" and "neither" as spelled also fits in the broad category of "doing things that make sense."

Maybe younger brits aren't becoming more American, but just more reasonable.
