Is that relevant ? ;) Is there really a problem with Americans relearning
what words mean ?

Actually, Merriam-Webster seems to have it right - even in American !: a
small, steep waterfall; *especially* : one that is part of a series of
waterfalls


Although this points to an American cascades as being one part of an
English cascade ! America uses 'waterfall' too - it seems 'cascade' is
agreeable even if not realised!
