UK-based Eurofags, I have a question

[spaekle]

I'd like to pose a question here. I'm curious.

So UKians and whatnot call cookies 'biscuits', right?

In America, we call these

"biscuits". What do you UKians call those? ^

This. 'Douche'... what does it actually mean, anyway? When I hear/read it, it makes me think of a soggy, used teabag for some reason.

It's uh a hygiene product used to wash out various orifices.

So, if you say 'car', then other people think you are a lunatic?

yeah "car" is used in the US, too o.o "Automobile" is just a catch-all term for cars, trucks, vans, etc. "Vehicle" is wider and also refers to bicycles, trains, boats, rickshaws, submarines, ...

Like all the Engrish you see, if there's an opportunity, usually American English will be there, and in Japan they learn American pronunciation. Which is pretty stupid because British pronunciation would be so much easier for all the Japanese kiddies. D:

What in the world are you on about? There are like three words that are actually pronounced differently there; the rest is just accent.

They look like scones but I'm probably wrong.

Well, sorry if you couldn't figure it out.
I'm talking about the 'accent', then, but there are different accents used all throughout the USA, I'm talking about the universal 'way of pronouncing things' - i.e. 'r'

EDIT: Also aware that's accent, but I'm pretty sure you know what I'm talking about, there's no need to correct me further, okay?

Don't be so childish. Spelling and pronunciation differences are not srs.
