The character of Finch, played by Irish actor Stephen Rea uses the word "elevator", instead of "lift", and pronounces "lever" the American way, "lev-er", rather than the British way of "leever", any idea why?

He's Irish
Only those with no valid argument pick holes in people's spelling and grammar.
Thanks for the reply.
I know he is Irish, I stated that in my post, but my Irish work mate (from Limerick) uses the word "lift" rather than "elevator" and pronounces "lever" the same way Brits do.
I would assume that the word "elevator" was in the script, but the pronunciation of the word "lever" must have been allowed, or enforced by the director??
Maybe a deliberate reflection of American influence on British culture and language?

May be Americans say it that way becasue that's how some Irish immigrants said it.

"Only those with no valid argument pick holes in people's spelling and grammar."
Only those that can't spell a simple language correctly, have to build strawmen like that.
No one needs to "pick holes", they are already there. What's wrong with helping fellow human beings speak and write more coherent, correct and understandable (legible) english?
So you are basically against helping people, based on your own, fragile ego-based mental laziness.. should be expected of someone, whose post consists of exactly TWO words with no punctuation.
There's nothing wrong with pointing out people's mistakes and errors, I would love for people to do the same to me, so I can learn to write better. In the current year, it's AMAZINGLY easy to find out the correct spelling, punctuation and grammar of anything.
There is no excuse, don't artificially manufacture them.
Why would someone that knows how to write english correctly and wants to help others do the same, not be able to have a 'valid argument'? Who defines the 'validity' of arguments anyway?
Your logic makes no sense - it's actually contrary to what you claim; people that are AT LEAST intelligent enough to write the simplest language in the world correctly, should be more than capable of also creating / having lots of 'valid arguments' as well.
I guess when you don't have valid arguments, you never get experience in writing, and thus remain ignorant about your own bad grammar and spelling, and if anyone ever points out your mental laziness, ignorance and stupidity-based mistakes and errors, you freak out, so you have to construct this strawman to protect your fragile ego.
Grow up, learn to spell and write, and enjoy writing.
I think it's more true that people that are too stupid / ignorant / unwilling to improve their abilities, faculties, thinking, or just do basic research, are MORE likely to not have anything worthwhile to say.
If you have something worthwhile to say, you should know how to write it.
