George,
I think that F. F. Bruce was born in Elgin, Scotland, in 1910: "In the
neighborhood of Elgin, my native city...," as he says, In Retrospect, p. 1.
His father was also Scottish, a native of Aberdeenshire.

wouldn't be surprised if it were a Briticism which may well be shared by the
Aussies (Bruce was Aussie) and is also shared by Bostonians here in the US.
Did you ever notice in speaches by Kennedy he says "Americer" rather than
"America"?
