We call jam....jam. There is also what we call jelly, which is basically the same as jam but there is a slight difference! Whatever, I think I just confused myself right there. <br /><br />I confess I also used to think the lol meant lots of love and said it to someone on yahoo messenger who was talking about someone who died. I felt like such an ass after later learning what it really meant!<br /><br />And now that I know what it really means...I can lol with confidence!

On the rea...OMG this totes made me LOL and LMFAO. <br /><br />On the real, this was hilarious. Language differences -- especially among the variations of the English language -- have always fascinated me. Like the jam/jelly thing. That's a new one on me. I'm American, and here, jam and jelly are similar. Both go on toast, sandwiches, and biscuits. Jam is smoother and has a bit more fruit and jelly is...well...more of a gel-like consistency. I prefer jam to jelly, but only because it's easier to spread and doesn't slide around everywhere like jelly does. What you call jelly we call gelatin, but no one ever says that because nearly everyone uses the name brand word Jell-o as a common word for any type of gelatin, no matter what company made it. Hence the term "jello." Eponym at its finest. Jello isn't used as a bread condiment. That's just...weird. <br /><br />And as an English teacher, it drives me nuts when kids are so used to text speak that that crap finds its way into their essays. I mean seriously. <br /><br />WTF?JW Moxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865232770753428076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767349627389806156.post-28947350936524494382012-04-15T11:48:19.241+01:002012-04-15T11:48:19.241+01:00Trying to comment through the blurry stream of my ...Trying to comment through the blurry stream of my tears.

Oh well ... to-ma-to or to-may-to, it's still a red fruit. :)<br /><br />I have to totally agree. I understand the shortened spaces for characters, but when people abbreviate on emails, letters and all that shit, it's just throwing education and the whole nine yards down the drain pipe. It's a bloody shame but it seems to be beyond repair. People have acclimatized themselves to the whole text language and vocabulary they have crippled their logic and thought coherence.

Wasn't until year later I realized how full of crap she was. <br /><br />The language differences always make me laugh. Especially if I'm playing an online game. I like to watch my fellow Americas argue with our cousins across the pond about how a word should be spelled.

It wasn't quite that bad (what happened with you was their fault, it's jam, not jelly. THEY ARE BRITISH NOT AMERICAN). I just made myself a little too comfortable, and a little too at home. Now, even when I'm at a family members, I'm incredibly careful about what I do. As for text speak, I consider it an aberration that needs to be destroyed. I have heard my niece actually say "LOL" and "OMG" out loud, and my boss occasionally says "BRB" and I just want to beat them with a dictionary. I have never, and will never, sacrifice the language for the sake of convenience and space.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118816573712396453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767349627389806156.post-10853809023790871272012-04-14T23:39:13.058+01:002012-04-14T23:39:13.058+01:00I, too, am out of vodka.

The jelly in your photo looks like Jell-o to me. I think I know most Brit speak because my daughter went to Cambridge. I learned "fanny" from her boyfriend, and no, he wasn't telling me how nice my daughter's ladybits are. He explained the meaning to me. I don't think Americans say fanny very often now. We seem to prefer butt and ass, and I have heard and said I was laughing my ass off but I don't say it anymore because someone might think I mean lmao and I can't stand that crap. The lol about the dad dying is hilarious. And yes, it is true: You are always right. So am I because I agree with you.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.com
