When we fly to Canada or The Bahamas, they frequently use "taxi into position and hold" to US crews. This has been going on for years. So I guess it's accepted practice there. In the UK, and I've only had experience in the jumpseat out of LGW, occasionally the controllers use "gate" instead of "stand". But it's always standard UK banter both ways.
I remember flying N reg GA in the UK back in the early ninties out of Lakenheath, we'd have a heck of a time trying to use UK phraseology with all US GA crews. But we did our best.
In Orlando the Virgin crews are great on the radio. Blending in nicely, using standard US phraseology.
