Oh, I got it.
True, practically everything revolves around the American language as pivot, even the English language! :-) (joke)
There is a language app where English-speaking people learn French. The problem with this app is that there is no understanding between Americans and other English speakers in situations where they have to translate from French to English.
The problem occurs because the app is based on American English and when someone for example translates "Il va au cinèma" as "He's going to the cinema", the app doesn't accept that answer; you must use the term "movie theater".
There are many other examples, but this one was easy to remember.
