When did films become movies?
I am at present reading a novel written by an English author set in England but the police are referred to as 'cops'.
I wonder whether this is to appeal to the US book market.
I hate it when authors do that.

I find it jars and suspends the 'suspension of disbelief'.
I think 'ah, so we have suddenly been transported to the US, have we?'
