Are you suggesting we Brits can be pedantic on points of grammar??

As Winston Churchill famously remarked: A preposition is something you
should never end a sentence with.

On another occasion he was interrupted during a speech in the House of
Commons by an MP objecting to him having ended a sentence with a
preposition.  He retorted: That is the kind of interruption up with
which I will not put.

Have fun
