Americans have a very direct no BS way of communicating. It's a drug-store and not a "Chemist's". It's a f'ing elevator and not a "lift". You go to the "cinema" and we go to the movies (shit's moving around). Dustbin? Trashcan...

The legislative bills have always had very embarrassing propaganda names though. It plays into the George Creel media industry the US government has always favored.

“elevate” is more of a fancy word than “lift” which is more direct

Elevator is what it is, elevate is what it does. If we wanted to use 'lift' we'd have to call it a lifter. I don't care for either term because I take elevators/lifters down too, but I don't want to have to change to calling it a 'descender' depending on what floor I'm on either.
