Yay for appeal to authority again, it's even better if you're appealing to yourself! Elevator is in common use throughout the US and abroad -- "lift" is more common in former British Colonies (Hong Kong is one I specifically recall because I've spent time there, but in the Philippines and Thailand it's elevator), but the vast majority of the English speaking world would use elevator now.
