I used to be perplexed by the differing treatment of groups/teams.
US: The team is ...
UK: The team are ...

I thought my UK counterpart at work had a problem with subject/verb agreement until I looked it up and realized the rules were different.

Before I knew better, it was much more cringe-worthy than spelling differences.
