 Train stations and train tracks ............ - Statistical Outlier
Of course your argument rather falls down when you realise that many 'Americanisms' are actually because US English has evolved far less than ours. 'Gotten' being one good example. Bill Bryson's book 'Mother Tounge' is a good source on this.

I'm proud to be British partly because of the tolerance and good humour normally shown in this country. I'm not sure how ignorant hostility to others really fits with that?
