        I’ve had this multiple times and honestly I kinda dig it. It doesn’t slide like you’d imagine.

      I get more confused than offended by marshmallows in ‘salad’ and pumpkin pie being a sweet rather than an onion & cheese extravaganza

        Only ‘burgers’ which are chicken. Chicken isn’t hamburger so I get that one… I think we’re wrong there.

        Though they are a quick bread like scones made with self raising flour biscuits are more like Yorkshire puddings or dumplings, they have much more butter than scones and aren’t sweet.

      Until recently I used to get all anxious about Americanisms. Then I saw a classification of various English dialects somewhere and American was described as Simplified English! And it is, Webster simplified usage and spelling to help create a new American identity and to democratise the language. Now I just see American as Simplified and the rest of us are using Traditional.

      They are still wrong though. 😉 ( not really, American is just different )
