Has anyone else noticed how often Americans on this forum frequently use the British term “bore” instead of gauge?

Because we won that war, my shotguns are all in various gauges (except my .410 caliber), my trunk is not a boot, the hood of my car is not a bonnet and my friends are not my mates.

“The caliber of shotguns is measured in terms of gauge or bore (the British English term)."
