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.
That sounds pretty poor on the authors part. If you are going to set a story in England, the language should represent that. What novel is it?

It's one of Tim Weaver's but I am finding the same in other UK novels.

I have posted this above too but here is an explanation of why:

So it's not even that it is poor research on an American authors part. It is an English writer. How bizarre. I can't think of anything other than your suggestion about appealing to American readers but than you put off all the English ones.
