Q, you post English usage

"Mortician -
Painting, Edvard Monk, "Office Christmas Party, London Society of Morticians, 1905." See it here:
http://www.dearauntnettie.com/museum/museum-xmasparty.htm

"The first mortician was William Russel, who started a business in 1688.

"Morticians Day is celebrated on June 16."

And tthen you go on to post this:

'Mortician' has invaded British medical and death literature. Sorry, McGrath, UK usage will yield to American every time.'

And then people wonder why we USasians feel bashed? tut tut
