I've seen British authors get angry when someone points out that the Supernatural boys wouldn't think of the Impala as having a boot, or that (somewhat more obscure) the American POV character wouldn't contrast "Asian OC" and "Chinese OC" when the character described as "Asian" was descended from Pakistani immigrants. But said authors also got mad when people pointed out typos and such, so...

Ah we're not all bad. I'm a Brit who'd rather people point out when my phrasing/spelling doesn't fit with an American fandom. Then again, apparently I'm unusual because even my narrative in my Batman fic used American words (such as "pants" instead of "trousers") - apparently most people leave it at dialogue.

[clarice.livejournal.com]

Trousers is a perfectly acceptable Americanism, though it definitely has a different connotation. :) In UK fandoms I keep my spellings but generally use the UK-preferred noun in the prose. Seems odd to use one term in prose but a different one if the same item/concept comes up in the dialogue. It's easier to just use the regionally appropriate one across the board, especially if it's a word that exists somewhere in American vernacular.

[sparklywalls.livejournal.com]

Exactly my view. I personally find I end up confusing myself if I use different terms depending on whether or not a character said or thought it. It just struck me as more consistent and less jarring to the reader to keep it all the same. Though I admit I just can't let go of Us in words like "colour" so I don't generally change my spelling either!

Where in America? Just curious, because I live in Western Canada...and I've never said "trousers" in my life unless I was quoting a Brit.

It's rare in spoken language but you definitely see it, especially in reference to merchandise--at Macy's, (http://www.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=408414&cm_mmc=GoogleShopping-_-4-_-30-_-MP430) at Target, (http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/182-8867921-3478407?ASIN=B000XLZF38&AFID=Froogle&LNM=B000XLZF38%7CMossimo_Black_Denim_Trousers_Dark_Blue&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=B000XLZF38&ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001) at Gap (http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=620841002&tid=gofr1r) etc. It's also retained in "trouser socks." I don't know if my conception is regionally or family-influenced, but I consider "trousers" dress pants or slacks. Pants are my primary noun, but I'll use trousers occasionally to describe stuffy things I wear to court. Especially if they're wool. It may be fading, but it still exists in the American vernacular.

[clarice.livejournal.com]

...As a caveat, I wouldn't use "trousers" in dialogue for an American-based fandom (unless it were appropriate for the character--Walter on Fringe saying "trousers" would seem perfectly in character to me) because it is much less commonly used, but I don't consider it a British noun and it doesn't leap out at me in prose the way bonnet or torch or arse would.
