No, the point is that if everybody else has taken the trouble of
learning American English, it shouldn't be too much to ask for the
British to make an effort as well.

You can watch TV programmes at home, but in the office, you should be
writing Python programs.

(Spelling deviations are actually minor nuisances. A bigger problem is
when a Brit thinks they can use their home accent in international
contexts.)
