I normally complain about American English and the atrocious things they do to the language, so I'm on the side of the high German here.
There is no better way to wind up Americans than writing in British English.
Schools in Germany regularly teach BE rather than AE.
Fortunately.
Unfortunately, the quality of that teaching largely depends on the individual teacher, which greatly varies, and for which there barely is a lower limit, though.
There are plenty, let's be honest mate lol
