Yeah. Although sometimes we say "apartment flat." Which is kind of redundant. I thought you guys did that too though...least a friend of mine lived in Utah did.

And you guys don't even have fortnights!? Xavius! You have NO place talking about defective.

They're such different things! Biscuits are soft, fluffy things. You put honey and butter on them. Cookies can be a fairly wide range of things, some hard, some soft, but all are dessertish.

Jelly comes in a glass jar. Sometimes you put it on biscuits. You would never put Jello on a biscuit. It'll slide right off.

We have pharmacies and refer to them as such sometimes. It's not quite the same as a drug store, connotation wise. A pharmacy is usually part of a larger establishment, whereas a drug store is more likely a standalone thing. Chemists are people. They make chemicals. Sometimes, they make chemicals that aren't drugs. Chemists work in chemical plants. I suppose you call pharmacists chemists too, though. 500 words too many for your dictionary?

We have fortnights. It's archaic. Outdated. We just say "two weeks." Just as many syllables.

Grilling is done with a metal grid over an open flame. Broiling is done in a convection oven with heating units on both the top and the bottom. Not even remotely the same.

Sweets refer to more than just candy. Sweets include things like...cookies! Cookies are not candy, though.

Okay, let's start from the top.
1. Biscuits encompass a REALLY LARGE range of things, INCLUDING cookies (which are just things made out of cookie dough, not anything else like you keep ascribing to them.) I've seen your "biscuits" and Xavuis, they are not biscuits. They're like...fluffy...roll things.
2. Jelly comes in a glass jar? Uh...not really. You kind of...make it in a plastic mould...Jello I think is just a brand name for a different gelatin. I could be wrong on the latter. Not the former though.
3. Maybe I should have put the apostrophe on. Chemists'. Like you say "go to the doctors'." (Of course knowing you you probably don't say that at all, but normal people do.) Chemists, pharmacies, no "drug stores." Drugs do -technically- cover stuff chemists and pharmacies will sell you, but MOSTLY the word is used for things like heroin, cannabis, morphine et al. (if you don't call them some weird name too.)
4. Fortnights archaic? They're perfectly modern. Maybe it was just too complicated, and "two weeks" is easier to conceive of for you.
5. I'm not going to go into the grilling/broiling thing because I don't really know about that. I'm certain that we're right anyway though, I just don't know the facts.
6. There is no such thing as candy except candy floss and...I think there's a couple other things, but it is NOT as broad as you want to make out. Sweets include things like chocolate (which I'm told you also call "candy" - candy bars? No, no...chocolate bars) but...no. You can't have candy. You guys are just confused there.

We have drug stores, chemists, and pharmacies

A drug store would describe a place where drugs are sold (usually over-the-counter medication that does not require a medical prescription). A chemist would describe someone with a degree in chemistry. A pharmacy is place where prescription medication can be obtained that is overseen by a pharmacist.

Scary yet logical, isn't it?

Oh, I see what the problem is. You have a word for Jello, but you can't distinguish between jelly and...jam, maybe?

Don't confuse the poor kid. God, I wonder what he'd think of when you said, "jello shot."

And not to be confused with "drug dealer," which refers to the shady people who peddle the illegal stuff Shiri's referring to.

Jam is TOTALLY different. Jam is that stuff you get in jam jars that you spread on bread. Jelly you get in a mould and make funny shapes out of for kids' birthdays. (I always hated it, but yeah.)

So I have no idea where you got that idea.

And I'm sure that SOMEWHERE in America people have a clue on this whole chemist thing, because it's the chemists in final fantasy games that give potions and eye drops and other curative drugs.

EDIT: Unless it's the Japanese that have a clue and the Americans just translated it directly, of course.

So what... wait you have pharmacies but not pharmacists?

Sure we have pharmacists, we just have chemists too. (And I don't meain in the sense of being a student of chemistry.)

What's the difference?

EDIT:

Note that a student of chemistry is not a chemist. A person who has achieved a degree (as in went to college and majored in chemistry) is a chemist.

Jelly and jam in American probably both fall under "jam" in British, even though they're actually different ways of making relatively similar products. Yet another thing you can't distinguish between. Tsk. Defective.

What the heck do you call -actual- jelly then? Is that what you call jello, or what?

Flavored sugary gelatin desserts are Jello, yes.

EDIT: You see that? Flavored. No "u."

Don't make me edit your post for spelling.

And...hmm. So you guys call jelly jello...you sure? You have "jello moulds" (or "molds") then? And it's wobbly?

Yeah, I'm sure. Grape jelly is a sort of thick pasty gel that you put on toast or biscuits (but never cookies!) Jello is the wobbly stuff that either comes in those angel-food cake shaped molds (no "u!") or is cut into fun shapes with cookie cutters.

So you call jam jelly and jelly jello.

Like THAT makes sense.

So what do you call American jam?

I have nooo idea. Possibly Jello. I'm gonna have to get Vix to take a picture of some or something...

I bet you call them both jam, honestly.

Here, compare the recipes.
