I can usually tell when a Brit is writing in an American fashion, even when they do it really well; it doesn't bother me, it's just a "oh, this person is probably British" realization and then I move on. It's little things, like habitually writing "they've/I've not" instead of "they/I haven't" (I didn't realize how I've never heard an American say it that way until I started reading fic with British characters or by British writers).

See one of my Ameripickers okayed 'I've/they've not'. This is why it's a little difficult.

A while back a Brit responded to one of my stories to tell me there would never be a Catholic church in a small town in the Scottish Highlands. I didn't have the heart to reply that the church in the story was a real one, in the real town I'd established the characters staying near. I actually even knew the name of the priest! (I make enough mistakes readers kindly ignore, I figured I owed them one.)

That is completely baffling bullshit. (Them not you). I assume the person "correcting" you wasn't Scots, but I thought it was fairly well known that there are (a) a lot of Catholics in Scotland and (b) pockets of the Highlands in particular where Catholicism is strong.

I'm British and I say "they haven't". To me, "they've not" is actually wrong. So you can't really generalise.
