I hate to be the one to tell you this, but even you guys don't use the King's English anymore. You're already let 2 Americans onto the board of the OED, which has already seen several American phrases added to the lexicon with the most recent update.

it is inevitable.
 
It is confounding that the Brits can't speak English.


A friend of mine called from Asia last night to ask me how to pronounce the name "Nigel". Someone wanted to hire him as an English teacher. I was suspicious about the name and asked if this guy is a Brit. She looked into it, and he is!

They're no longer interested in hiring him.

I'm not making this up. 😀

We won't be letting go of biscuit, jam, jelly, pavement, aluminium, etc any time soon.

It is even more confusing that we spawned you and you can't even speak the language from which American originated.

I'm sorry if in america it's too complicated to have multiple words describing similar things, but in English we like to describe different things with different words.

No, it's not shortbread. Shortbread is unleavened and therefore denser, and usually not as sweet.

In all honesty I can't tell from the photo, It looks like a biscuit with sugar on the top.

However shortbread is often not dense and generally very sweet.
