Regarding the jelly/jam debate. Where I'm from here's the breakdown: Jam - boiled fruit and sugar, usually with remaining fruit solids Jelly - boiled fruit juice, sugar, and pectin. usually no fruit solids Jello - artificial giggly stuff out of the box Preserves - unopened shelf stable jam.

[@aparke22]

American here commenting on ALL words: 1. Burglarized - We use this word but it's not very common. Mostly we just say "robbed". 2. Acclimate - "Acclimatized"... that's just weird. 3. Jelly - Jelly, jam, and preserves are all slightly different things in America. Jelly is only the juice, pectin and sugar. Jam is American "jelly" with bits of fruit in it. "Preserves" is pretty much the same as jam but with whole pieces or really large pieces of fruit (we also use marmalade but only for citrus fruits since that uses the rind). We use the word "gelatin" for British "jelly" but hardly anyone calls it that. We all just call it "Jell-O", which is a name brand for gelatin but we use the word for all brands. 4. Tomato - We would sound pretentious if we pronounced it the British way (our American dictionaries put an "ay" sound in there). 5. Addicting - We say "addictive" and "addicting" synonymously. I hear it both ways even though "addicting" is probably wrong. We never say "seducting" since that is not a word. 6. Wife Beater - That's just a more specific way to say a type of white tank top that was only worn as an under-shirt back in the day but is now worn as a main shirt sometimes. However, it's still considered trashy for a guy to wear a "wife beater" when going out for dinner or something like that. 7. Pacifier - We don't use a lot of words that sound more pretentious than the British alternative. Glad we have one here at least. 8/9. Pants/Panties - We don't always say the specific type of undergarments we are using like panties, lingerie, briefs, boxers. We say "underwear" in the same way British say "pants". We also say specific words for trousers like leggings, jeans, slacks, etc. 10. Cilantro - That's different from coriander in America. Even though cilantro and coriander are from the same plant, cilantro is considered an herb and comes from the stem and leaves. Coriander is the crushed up seeds from the same plant and is considered a spice. They also taste different. - Side note: We say "tortilla" correctly because that originated from Mexico and most Americans love Mexican food so we'll pronounce their food correctly.

[@CIorox_BIeach]

Jam= fruit/berry spread with pulp Jelly= fruit/berry spread no pulp Jello= jiggly stuff in fridge.

[@Lofi.kitten.baby2.0]

Jelly contains gelatin, which is made from collagen which comes from animal bones and skin. When the gelatin is heated and mixed with water the protein fibers unravel and come apart, so the jelly from the packet melts. As the jelly cools the fibers coil up again trapping water between them, which makes the jelly set.Jun

[@Adiscretefirm]

Jelly is made from juice only, jam is juice and pulp, marmalade is juice, pulp, and rind (US usage). We also use the general term preserves usually in reference to a jam with a lot more pulp than usual.

[@danomalley2473]

Correct. Although preserves are made to last longer on shelf by "canning" (which usually means sealed in a jar and the jar boiled in water) hence the "preserves" wordage. Jams, jellies and marmalades are just mixed together and do undergo the canning process.

The word burgled is absolutely unacceptable. You have no idea how _triggering_ this word is to an American. There is no crime as disgusting, heinous and vile as having ones burger stolen. You can NEVER get back what was lost when this happens to you. No matter how many times you go back and order the same burger, each one is unique in its own way. The crusting on the patty, the positioning of the ketchup and mustard, the unique shape of each pickle, the number of sesame seeds in your bun, all of it makes each and every burger unique. Once you have lost it, it is gone forever. When my burger was stolen from me back in 1991, my 'friends', who perpetuate burgled culture, asked me why I left my burger unattended while I used the bathroom. Like it was somehow *my* fault. I'll never forget that feeling. I'll never forget that burger.

[@karenmullen3210]

Having made both jelly and jam, I can tell you that they are two different things, and preserves are yet another. Jelly has no fruit in it and jam is basically jelly with a bunch of fruit mashed up really really well and is not set like jelly. Preserves are a soft set jelly with chunks of fruit in it. Orange marmalade is a different creation being a soft set jelly with orange rind in it. Then there's yummy jalapeño jelly, which has teeny tiny bits of pepper flesh in it. * What you call gelly, or jelly, we called gelatin. But if we did call our gelatin jelly, we would spell it with a G, because... Gelatin = gelly makes sense I don't know why either country spells jelly with a j, but my eyes are starting to hurt and I don't want to go down anymore bunny trails than I have to.

Facts: “Preserves” are a spread used on toast (etc) that consists of mostly fruit, (a lot of chunky fruit pieces) made with a minimal amount of sugar. “Jam” is made the same way, but a lot more sugar added - has “some” fruit chunk pieces in it. “Jelly” is mostly sugar with fruit juice, very little real fruit with no chunks at all. It is strained to make the liquid smooth before it sets up. There IS a difference in the three condiments.

[@kateybug092]

1)Gelatin or the name brand Jell-O is what you're calling "jelly". Jelly is filtered and has no solid bits of fruit. Jam is fruit preserves. 2)To-may-to because in American phonetics usually if you don't have a double consonant, it is a long vowel sound. 3)Wife-beater is slang for the tank top shirts trashy men wear. 4)Pants is correct. The British version is short for underpants. 5)Cilantro is the entire plant. Coriander is when the plant flowers and develops seeds. We have reasons for how we say our words.

"It's OK, give it a little time, you'll adjust." 3. Jelly. Yeah, we say that. Jelly is devoid of pulp or fruit. It's just the juice that has set up using pectin. Jam is a denser, thicker jelly from pulp. Jello or gelatin is what you guys call jelly. 4. Addicting. Yeah we say that. But we also say addictive. 5. Wife beater. We say that for lower class people.

Jonathan Pacheco Agree. A molded jelly would be called gelatin in the US.

[@mariebigler1854]

Jelly is spread on bread like jam but is made with only juice and sugar and gelatin. Jam has bits of fruit it’s the whole fruit mashed juice and all with sugar and gelatin.

Right! the difference between jam and jelly is explained in another comment. Marmelade only refers to a preserve made from citrus fruit. That has actually been taken up in the entire EU. So only preserves made from citrus fruit are allowed to be called marmelade, even in Germany, where before "Marmelade" was the generic term for any jam or preserve.

[@kople5900]

Paige Whitten jelly is smooth jam has chunks of the food

[@hoppas77]

"Jelly, jam and preserves are all made from fruit mixed with sugar and pectin. The difference between them comes in the form that the fruit takes. In jelly, the fruit comes in the form of fruit juice. In jam, the fruit comes in the form of fruit pulp or crushed fruit (and is less stiff than jelly as a result). In preserves, the fruit comes in the form of chunks in a syrup or a jam."

[@karenthorne2574]

As an American, I have never said addicting. I have always used addictive. You referring to jam, jelly and marmalade as jam is like us referring to underwear, jeans and trousers as pants. Jello is what you call jelly.

We would still say we are looking for jeans, trousers, slacks, corduroys, etc. For British pants, we would just say underwear. Cilantro is the Spanish word for coriander so I feel like that makes sense considering the recipes we typically use it for. We still call the seeds/spice coriander.

[@AlaskanGlitch]

1. Most Americans would just say they were "robbed" instead of "burglarized." (note the "z"). 2. I definitely use acclimate, rather than acclimatize. 3. The difference between jelly and jam is whether or not it contains whole or partial fruit. Jams include whole or partial fruit, like a preserve or marmalade. Jelly, while made from fruit, does not contain any pieces of the fruit. Jelly is just pectin and fruit juice. Jelly is like jam or preserves, but contains no fruit. The solid fruit is strained out of jellies, making it easier to spread. 4. I say "tomato" like I say "potato," with a long "a." 5. "This game can be addicting." Or "I'm addicted to nicotine." I use addicted or addicting, I don't use "addictive." 6. "Wife beater" was not a phrase I was familiar with. I've always referred to a the shirt as a "tank top." 7. "Pacifier" is very common in the US. Never heard of "dummy." 8. Pants is the outer garment. Pants is synonymous with trousers. Underwear is the under garment. Women wear "panties," men wear "boxers." 9. "Cilantro" is the Spanish word for coriander. It is also known as Chineese Parsley. We use "cilantro" in the US (particularly southwestern US) instead of coriander because Mexico introduced "cilantro" to the US with their Spanish cuisine back in the 19th century.

In the US, "pants" is a general term for anything that covers the legs the whole way down. "Jeans" are pants made of denim, and are worn in casual situations while "trousers" are in in semi-formal or formal situations. Jelly and jam are two different things. The dessert that shakes is called gelatin, which is probably where we get the word "jelly". I'm pretty to-MAY-to and to-MAH-to are just different pronunciations for the same word, no wrong pronunciations, just like PROH-sess vs. PRAH-sess here in the US. Also, no, we don't put the letter "U" in words like "color", "labor", or "honor", et cetera. We also use the letter "Z' instead of an "S" for words that end in "-ize". Neither of us are wrong, just different.

[@Sarah-gl5xj]

Wav_y_yy You are right!!! The suffix -ing for seduce would be seducing not seducting. Just like Detective would be detecting with the -ing suffix. -ive suffix is to make nouns of adjective origin show a function, tendency or to perform such as detective, seductive or addictive. So the game is addictive, meaning it has a tendency of causing someone to become addictive. Or detective, which is someone who detects things. -ing suffix is similar to the -ive however -ing is an expressing suffix that express the action of the verb or its result. So the game is addicting, meaning it is in the current state of causing someone becoming an addict. Essentially they are both the same meaning, except one describes the tendency of the noun while the other describes the action, state or result of the noun. The suffix -ing creates a verb, which is used to describe an action, state or occurrence. The suffix -ive creates an adjective which names an attribute. Both are correct in describing something as addicting or addictive. One you are simply stating the noun’s (in this case, the game’s) result of playing it. In the other form you are describing an attribute of the noun.

Agreed. Jelly can have no fruit at all, but just juice and pectin. Jam has chunks of fruit. Preserves include the whole fruit and it implies that the final product is chunky. Marmalade, as I'm sure you know, contains peel or rind in addition to the fruit. "Jelly," as Brits refer to it, is called, "Jell-O" in American English, because of the brand name that originated it, or we simply refer to it as gelatin.

With tomato, yeah, we say tomayto, but hey, tomayto, tomahto. We can all say it different. With addicting, we don’t say I’m addicting to a game, we would say “I’m addicted to a game.” And yes, we say “this game is so addicting,” but we say that a game is addictive too. Nobody in America ever says wife beater. This is the first time I’ve ever heard the word, we say tank top. For pacifier, I don’t know, never heard of a dummy. The pants thing, we use pants when we’re not being specific, like I might just say “And here’s all my pants” if I’m referring to a shelf with different leg clothing. But have all different types, chino, leggings, sweatpants, etc… We don’t use panties, and what you call pants, we would call underwear or more specifically maybe boxers or whatever it is. Coriander or cilantro. There come from the same plant and are used in different cases. Cilantro is the raw herb. Coriander is the cilantro seeds, which you would call coriander seeds.

[@tomking1165]

The the term "wife beater" refers to a white undershirt popular back when air conditioning was kind of rare. It's not a tank top. It's an undershirt which absorbs sweat so your dress shirt doesn't get soaked in the heat. In the south men, especially in poorer cultures would shed their shirts and sit around in their sweaty undershirts after work. So many movies and plays depicted abusive men as slovenly guys sitting around in their undershirts that these undergarments became associated with abusive males, hence the mostly movie critics term "wife-beaters" as an idea associated with the guy in his undershirt image. It's spread a bit to the culture, but the fact is you can hardly find such undershirts in a store anymore. few men wear them anymore since air-conditioning is ubiquitous in the states. Even in the UK, lower class men on TV are often depicted sitting in their chairs after work wearing a white, often stained undershirt. I've seen it on PBS and Britbox when crude lower class men are depicted.

As someone who grew up in a time when no self respecting mother would serve her children "store bought" jelly, you're right. Jam contains puree of the fruit while jelly is strictly juice and preserves actually contain larger pieces of the fruit.

In North America, cilantro refers to the leaves and stalks of the plant, while coriander refers to the seeds. The word “cilantro” is the Spanish name for coriander leaves. My European friends would call them "coriander greens".

[@kt_bug]

children usually call a pacifier a “binky”, and coriander and cilantro are both used in american english, but the former is dry seasoning and the latter is fresh produce.

[@Loupgarou21]

Katie Thompson, the part of the US I’m in, coriander is a spice, the seed of the cilantro plant, and cilantro is the herb, the leafy part of the cilantro plant, and can be either fresh or dried.

[@kt_bug]

​@@Loupgarou21 yup, that's what i meant- i know coriander as those seeds you have to crush up before using, and i mostly know cilantro as being in the produce section with stuff like parsley and basil.

[@paulvillerius848]

Katie Thompson I never heard it called anything other than “pacifier,” or “poppy” for short.

[@zoielise]

in my family we call them paci’s

[@varnershive]

If you asked an American for coriander we'd give you the seed. Cilantro we use for the leaves.

[@theallseeingmaster]

An important distinction, especially when cooking or ordering Mexican food.

[@RickMitchellProvenanceAndRoots]

In America, Cilantro is the plant. Coriander is the seed. "Panties" are worn by your Grandma. Trousers were worn in the 1800s.

[@scoville7707]

“Addicting” is one of those words which SOME people use (incorrectly), and others just ignore it because we understand.

[@haileyb8770]

American here! Cilantro and coriander come from the same plant but they are different parts- cilantro is the leaves and coriander the seeds. They taste and smell completely different. We call the gelatin dessert “Jello” after the most popular brand here. Jelly is a spread made from fruit juice (no solids) whereas jams are made from juice and purée. Someone who doesn’t like seeds in their spread (a lot of kids) will use jelly instead of jam. Side note, I actually thought you meant jelly as short for jealous, which many Americans (myself included) hate as well. Acclimate is actually an older version of acclimatize. Both sound fine to me. Agree with other comments that “robbed” is more common than “burglarized.” “Burgled” sounds very odd to me, it sounds a bit like you’re joking. A bit reminiscent of the hamburgler from McDonalds. I never actually thought of pacifier as something that pacifies a child, but it makes much more sense now. Many people shorten it to “pacie” or even say “binkie” but the most common word is pacifier. Agree to disagree on tomato. :)

[@neurothrillz6182]

True. Happens a lot. America houses people from so many different countries and because of this we end up incorporating some of their forgien language into our own.

[@erickmejia4602]

You say tomato and I say tomato, you say potato and I say potato

[@joycegreer9391]

Elver Also different pronunciation of neither and either...lol.

[@joycegreer9391]

You know jam also comes seedless?

[@pwbmd]

Addicting vs. addictive -- "Addictive" is the academically correct word in the U.S. So, like referring to a drug, you'd say "addictive drugs" -- if you said "addicting drugs", that would be a faux pas and would sound unprofessional. But yes in the U.S., most people only use the term "addicting", especially if they aren't scientists or health professionals. I use both terms. I reserve "addictive" to things that are truly addictive -- like drugs, alcohol, or video games. Whereas tasty popcorn or a good television show would be "addicting". Maybe I'm just weird. You Brits have it right though -- although both are words, "addictive" is always a correct use. I think "cilantro" prevails in the U.S. because of the strong Mexican influences, and the fact that this particular herb is used so frequently in Mexican cuisine. "Cilantro" is the Spanish term for coriander.

[@thatcherdonovan8138]

Paul Bolin, M.D. coriander and cilantro are the same plant but not the same ingredient. Coriander is the seed, used as a spice. Cilantro is the leaves and stem, used as an herb.

[@MatthewSchellGaming]

I don't think anyone says "addicting drugs". That just sounds wrong all together. Though Americans would say "Those drugs are addicting." But personally, I think I use "addictive" more.

[@danrowley896]

Paul Bolin, M.D. : Perfect explanations Doc. Got one for ya. The Brits also pronounce the word HERB HERB vs ERB. You know like Herb Alpert (of A & M records) & the Tijuana Brass. I don't know where the Herb came from vs Erb. Julia Child also pronounced it Herb. Wonder if it comes from the time she spent in London during the war or when the was a student @ the original Cordon Bleu?

[@geeninallcaps4678]

Before today, I had never heard the word addicting before. Ever. Idk if it is regional or what, but the word addicting sounds almost physically painful.

[@lisalentile177]

I think they don't realize that ppl from different parts of America have different dialects and use slightly different words I'm from FL I say addictive

[@LungsOutJem]

"Acclimate" is the correct word. Any time you're adding pointless syllables, you're being inefficient with your language, rendering your speech less effective. p.s. Marmalade and Jam are both fruit preserves. Jelly, as in "peanut butter and jelly," is made from fruit juice and sugar, basically jam without the pulp. What you call "jelly" is gelatin, a gelled dessert. In America it's more often called by the popular brand name "Jell-O."

Jam is made with whole fruit and juice. Jelly is made from the juice only.

[@danak8185]

...and preserves are something else entirely. Preserves have a LOT of whole pieces of “preserved” fruit within the jam (like marmalade). Jelly is smooth and spreadable. JELL-O or Gelatin is what is apparently called “jelly” in the UK.

No one would say seducting but they would say seducing. The word additive is a bit different because when changed to addicting it’s listed in some places as a verb, like seducing, but in other places as a adjective which is how you use it in this video. I think it’s possible that addicting changed into a adjective as a short of short hand thing, like instead of saying this is game is addicting me, people started to just say this game is addicting. I agree though that an ing word being used as an adjective sounds a bit off.

[@kateduval9478]

Coriander: seeds of the plant Cilantro: leaves of the plant

[@nicholassmith7048]

So what's the plant called?

[@OGPeanutbutter]

Nicholas Smith the plant itself is called coriander. Its also in the scientific name for the plant as well. Just in america we call the leaves and stems cilantro and the seeds coriander because they have different tastes

[@parkerpubs5142]

Also, we say cilantro w a British ah,, Cil ahn tro ,,, 😁

[@Carbon_monkey]

Josh Ousley the plant is actually called cilantro here and coriander is when it flowers.

[@Carbon_monkey]

The plant itself is called coriander too once it flowers. The whole thing changes flavors so you can pluck it before seed and it would technically be green coriander.

Jelly is when the fruit is removed, jam is when the fruit is smashed and preserves are when the fruit are left in chunks or halves

[@ballagh]

Emmy P , my understanding was jelly had been passed through a sieve to remove seeds and bits whereas jam was whatever had been boiled up. You're definitely right about the bits of fruit but for me the real difference is the removal of seeds.

[@MarleeSky]

Emmy P And Jelly is Jello!

[@cwfan2]

I'll say it again. Jello is made from gelatin from either pork or beef. Jelly is made from fruit juice. Don't serve Jello to vegetarians or people on special diets for health or religious reasons.

[@abigguitar]

MarleeSky: Jelly is similar to Jello in terms of being a thickener, yes, but Jelly is made from fruit pectin (a carbohydrate). Jello is made from gelatin (an animal protein).
