Americanising

Making it Yankee

Americanising is the British spelling of Americanizing—making something more American in character, style, or form.

This can mean adopting American spellings, idioms, or cultural practices: The publisher insisted on Americanising the British novel for U.S. readers.

It often carries undertones of cultural imperialism when applied to foreign media or institutions.
