Americans use Robertsons? Well I'll be!
I've got several boxes of trim screws and deck screws with that type of plain square drive...And along with driver bits for a drill/driver, I've actually got both a #1 and #2 Robertson drive screwdriver.
So, sure, we use them, we just don't call them Robertsons...though I have heard them called that. If you walked into Home Depot and asked for Robertson drive screws, they wouldn't know what you were talking about, but if you asked for square drive...
