To an extent, you're right about celebrating the linguistic differences as opposed to fighting over them. Divided by a common language and all that. Thing is, there are areas in which using the 'proper' words might make all the difference in the world. For instance, in America, playfully tweaking a lady's fanny, though frowned upon as a practise, probably won't get you in nearly as much trouble as it will here in the UK.
Similarly, sitting on one's bum over here is reasonably harmless; across the big water, there's a risk of accidentally smothering a homeless person.
At one time here in the UK, a child rushing to their parents in tears saying that they'd just lost their cherry would merely have engendered a soothing response and promises of another cherry. Now I believe it means something quite different and the response is more likely to come from Social Services cunts and botanically-euphemismed sting operations.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
