Americans are a people who love grand speech (we have a lot of Irish in us)! From our earliest beginnings as an English colony, speech-making has been a favorite form of entertainment. As a result, we love grand words - the more educated they sound, the better!
Thus, you will see all sorts of American words and terms which come from Latin and sound educated. We say "et cetera" instead of "and the rest," and we say "sanitation engineer" instead of "janitor."
We just like grandiloquent speech!
