Im a bit confused why you’re surprised to see American terminology on a site with a predominantly American user base, or why it’s worth commenting on.
That said, I’m Irish and live in the UK. You’ve never heard people say “I’ll hoover that”, or “you can google that”? Kleenex and band aid are definitely American ones but given the audience I thought it was apt
I don't think so, but I typically hear them use brands like Kleenex, Band-aid, etc instead of tissue, bandage.
