The debasement of our language by Americans a 'bit picky'?

Do you get concerned that the passenger vehicles on the Underground
are called Cars rather than Carriages?

We've had railway cars since the 19th century (dining cars, Pullman etc.)

The use of alternate instead of alternative on a public sign is not
current British English and hopefully won't be.
