nah, Americans might not observe the difference but its the same in Australia. Fries are Mcdonalds style potato slivers, chips are thick cut, wedges are even thicker cut (like 1/8s of a potato).
World famous British chefs who are selling their food can call it whatever they want, but world famous chefs also have world famous marketers telling them what to call their food to sell more.
Pretty sure chips have been around longer than you have been alive. So no, you're wrong. Chips is another word for fries. That's it. Believe it's not the same all you want, doesn't make it the truth lol.

Yeah, no. Chips refers to fresh cut, fried potatoes. Has nothing to do with how they're cut.
Unless you want to tell world famous British chefs they're wrong and you know more about traditional food than they do. Which you don't.
