ya I hear you, and having been exposed to South Carolina barbecue a while back , have an appreciation for the distinction.
But, living in a country where a barbecue was an appliance sold for cooking outdoors, it's hard to dispense with over 40 years of use of the term.
For us, grilling is the use of a flat metal cook surface to cook large quantities of food. for example, the restaurant grills used at places like McDonalds (and every other restuaruant I'm sure). when I hear that you grill burgers & dogs, I shudder at the thought of fried, not BBQ burgers.
so... culturally, your "southern" interpretation is making some inroads here, but the pulled pork delicacy that I have been doing on my Weber (and in my oven, and in my slow cooker - with liquid smoke) is still a rarity and an oddity. Here, the word Barbecue for outdoor cooking reigns supreme.
