That is true - in the US, we favor the modern. But when an old form
is preferred we very practically mask it with a new term. Thus we
practice cohabitation rather than fornication. Instead of operas we
attend musicals. And rather than reading tea leaves, we engage in
econometrics.

I hope this clarifies the issue.

Best wishes,

Rick.
