    There are some English words and phrases that can’t be said in American English. Like the “I inherited this government position from my father”. Or, “Sure hope the King doesn’t veto this legislation”.

          They’re not denying that happens in England, just pointing out that it functionally happens in the US too. So I’m not really sure what your point is.
