So I saw a picture of a wafer cookie and a chocolate chip cookie... where's the biscuit?

Chocolate chip cookie, was in my post, the chocolate biscuit at the top is a biscuit and above that is a scone (pronounced scon)

Instead of calling something a "sugar cookie" or a "wafer cookie" or whatever, they made up a hundred different names for cookies.

You mean a tea cake? Or a biscuit?

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.

You mean, like "stick shift" or "lolbron"?

A+ rant.

Yeah it wont change in English society any time soon, that's a scone.

your central thesis is that the English language is the cornerstone of English society, as that by which all things are determined proper.

I'm showing you how that cornerstone is eroding and that you can no longer point to the sovereignty of the language as the pillar stone of all things English, cultural, confectionary, chemical, or otherwise.

And then you moved to america and forgot them and started calling everything cookies because it was too confusing to have different words for different things, just like how you changed Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone because Philosophers is too complicated for your little brains.

Exactly, manual was too complicated for some reason, so you guys saw a gear stick and said "Hey a stick!, I know what that is"

Not so English, in England is absolutely a pillar stone of our society, and while it changes from place to place with different dialects there is still "BBC English" which hasn't really changed for a long time, while no one part is correct in England, there are uniform definitions for some things, like biscuit.
