Not particularly. I suppose it is a bit more casual in its sound, i.e., less formal, but it doesn't sound at all incorrect.

  • I shouldn't be surprised. After all, Brits are the ones that refer to companies in the plural 8>) "Microsoft have a monopoly."

    Has got to doesn't sound American to me - has to maybe (although that's much more common now too)
