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.

The thing about American English, is that quite a bit is derived from other languages. There's Spanish influence (especially Mexican dialect), British English, French, German, etc. This is partly because the large percentage of immigrant population. The country is also rather young, as far as 1st world countries go, and we still see influence from original settlers in our numerous accents throughout the country.

[@kifacorea]

"1st world" is problematic

[@alexsapaugh5969]

I love these videos so much, they are always so interesting. hahah We would probably just say we were robbed, not blugarized. For pacifiers, we also call them binkies. Pants are just a generic term, but we also would just use the word 'bottoms' if we were being generic. 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.

[@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

[@Lofi.kitten.baby2.0]

jelly is jello...... youre thinking of marmalade

[@CIorox_BIeach]

@@Lofi.kitten.baby2.0 I'm not sure where you found this info, but it sounds a little off. We don't make Jello at home ever, so using the brand name makes sense.

[@colinpate3059]

You guys crack me up. My mother was an English war bride and as kid I had to navigate two cultures. My American friends were always correcting me. I had a first grade teacher who would give us stars for eating a healthy breakfast. When I told her I had eggs, toast and fried tomatoes, she not only didn't give me a star, she took one away from the day before. I took all the differences in culture in stride and was never traumatized by it because I was living both at the same time. I really felt for my mother though as she came from London to a small little farm town in NW Ohio. Two totally different planets. Very much like the TV show Green Acres. Our family had loads of laughs, my mother included about the humor of it all.

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.

[@DP-zd8fr]

6:59 You are right about 'addictive', but 'addicting' is permissible in a different context. You use addictive when you describe something in general, even when you are not engaging in it at the time of speech. But if you were busy doing it while saying it (present continuous), you may describe it as addicting.

[@billbrasky1288]

We have jelly, jam, and preserves. Jelly has no seeds or bits, jam has seeds, preserves have seeds and bits. What you call jelly we officially call gelatin but 99% of the time we use the brand name Jell-O.

On jelly and jam, jam is like preserve. Jelly is in making it, it's strained, so clear of food parts just the juice and as tasty as jam. Your actual jelly is Jell-O or gelatin.

Marmelade for us is strictly orange with the rines in it.

[@hectordeleon4124]

Ok, we have a very heterogeneous culture, and we adopt many of the words from those different cultures. We've adopted cilantro, especially in California, because of a very heavy Spanish influence in our food and language. Fun video though, so thanks!

[@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.

[@mrepix8287]

How do you not laugh when someone says “burgled” lmao 😂

[@zacharywilde6950]

I'm from Maryland (near Annapolis) and the usage I'm familiar with has is as follows: "I've been robbed" and "my house got broken into" are how people refer to being "burgled" as Joel and Lia say. "Jam" and "jelly" are similar, but jelly has more bounce, more firmness, and less spreadability than jam on account of it being more cohesive and viscous. Jam sometimes refers to homestyle preserves, although "preserves" is also used and has the advantage of being less ambiguous. What Joel and Lia call "jelly" is officially called "gelatin" here, but everybody says jello anyway no matter what lawyers have to say about it. Addictive sounds more correct, but if someone said addicting I probably wouldn't notice. There was a flash game site called addictinggames which may be the reason people say that. The existence of the term "wife beater" makes the white tank top a fashion people avoid, so I haven't seen many examples in the wild. "Pacifier" sounds stilted to me too, but in a corporate, ad agency kind of way. People tend to say "binky." The first time I referred to one as a toddler, I said "BINK!" "Pants" here is an umbrella term for any article of clothing covering the legs. Skirts, leggings, and shorts aren't included, while capris are pants, but they're on the line. You seem to use "pants" the way we use the term "underwear." "Panties" are a specific type of female underwear. "Cilantro" for the leaf, "coriander" for the seed.

"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. Tank top is usually the term. 6. Pacifier. Yeah, we say that. Dummy sounds silly. Sorry. 7. Pants. We say slacks too for women's pants. 8. Cilantro. Yeah, we say that.

[@renee4495]

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.

[@zyatyner307]

[@jameshorn270]

Preserves and conserves are made with whole fruit. Jam is basically smashed fruit including seeds, Jelly is made with the strained juice. Jelly in the British usage is gelatin, and Jello is a brand of gelatin.

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

Burglarized (with a 'z') is fairly common but we don't really use your shortened version of burgle but oddly enough we do use the word burglar. We use both addicting and addictive. I suppose it is just up to preference which one you use. We don't use the word "seducting". Depending on how you would use it we would use seductive or seducing. I usually just call those shirts tank tops too but the term wife beater comes up every once in a while. I wont touch the cilantro or jam/ jelly/ preserves/ gelatin (or just Jell-O since the brand name has become synonymous with the type of food) differences since lot of others have already covered those in the comments. Also, we know what corduroys are (though I see it in writing so infrequently it looks weird to me). I used to wear them a lot since they were so much more soft and comfortable than other pants (hmm, maybe I should get back into wearing them since it seems to be difficult to find pants that fit comfortably for me).

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.

[@tisithefrenchiestfry5406]

Jam, jelly, and marmalade are all different things. And what Brits call jelly we call gelatin or Jell-O

[@CANDYworldOFpop]

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. I think it may have been my generation that came up with "wife beater" because in any movie that had an abusive male, it always seamed he was wearing one of those types of undershirts. I could never understand how, in the UK, you say schedule (shed´- ül) and still pronounce school (skül).

americans don’t say “seducting” that’s not a word 😂

[@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.

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.

Do you get criticized or critted? :) We call what you refer to as jelly, as 'Jello'. We also have marmalade, jelly, preserves and jam. Jellies are clear fruit juices that have been gelled into a shimmering, translucent solid that holds its shape but is still spreadable. Jams are made from crushed or chopped fruit (some people use puréed fruit) and are often less firm than jellies. Preserves contain whole fruit or large pieces of fruit suspended in a firm-jelly or a less gelled fruit syrup. Marmalades are jellies that contain pieces of citrus fruit suspended evenly throughout.

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.

Also, "marmalade" is a specific type of jam made with citrus -- lemon, lime or orange -- that includes some of the peel (rind, skin) of the fruit, both to extract pectin and to give the jam a slightly bitter flavor. Try this one: In some parts of the US, especially the Midwest, they mix shredded carrots with Jell-o and call it ... "salad." You don't have to be British to find that odd.

And to me ‘burgled’ seems rather close to ‘buggered’. ‘Jelly’ is short for ‘gelatin’ and usually has more gelatin in it as opposed to ‘jam’ which is closer to mashed up fruit with sugar. We use ‘addictive’ as well, ‘addicting’ is funny though because it makes me think the addictive thing has malicious intent. This just makes me miss London and arguing about whether the ‘h’ in ‘herb’ should be pronounced or not. One of my first experiences in London was when someone got their panties in a bunch when I asked if I was at the end of the line and they corrected me with “you mean the end of the queue”.

From an American: 1. Robbed instead of burglarised. 2. Adjust instead of acclimate. 3. To most Americans, there is no difference between jelly and jam. What you are thinking of is called Jell-O. 4. Tomato is tomato with either a soft or hard 'a'. Most Americans really don't care either way. 5. Addictive is a better term for it. You are right. 6. Wife beater is the insulting term for those tank tops. Most Americans really don't wear them at all. 7. Pacifier is way better than dummy. We were right on this one. 8 and 9. We call them pants because that is what they are, or we use 'trousers'. What goes on underneath is called underwear or undergarments in America. 10. Cilantro is just a herb. It is fine. And now, for a British word thrown back at you to explain. We call it a 'baby stroller', why the hell do you call it a 'pram'? What the hell is a pram?

[@VenomHalos]

Robbed implies the use of force, though

[@Terri_MacKay]

They are just nitpicking with tomato... it's just a difference in accent. And she just makes herself sound a little stupid when she said that tomato with a long a would confuse her and she wouldn't be sure what the person wanted. I don't know why I know this, but I do. Pram is short for perambulator. 😁

[@felisityfoxx7224]

Short for perambulator, which is linked to walking around. Or something...

[@patrickjames9746]

There is a difference between jelly and jam in America look it up

[@telkentexas4053]

To perambulate is to walk, therefore a perambulator is a walker and the word pram is a shortened version of the word perambulator ... You are yet another example of an American with a highly questionable ability to comprehend the language you are trying to speak.

[@amaside3166]

As an american, i feel misjudged by them lol

[@milkman8467]

same, half of these i’ve never heard or knew existed

[@rebekah441]

Same I feel as though they don't understand some of those things or why we say them that way.

[@user-vv1ch8qq6x]

SAMMEEEE

[@Pennerazzi]

I'm not even American, and I can see they are waaay off on almost every example.

[@sallymcmurray949]

Well it doesn't help when they sound real condescending. I don't think either of them have been to America because we don't say those words the way they propose

[@brisblondie]

Hahaha “burgled” 😆😂. Also “trousers” is hilarious and formal. .Jam is thick jelly. Gelatin is the molded wiggly thing. Jell-o being a name brand of gelatin. I have never heard the word “dummy” for a pacifier. Cilantro and coriander are different things here. One is a green leafy plant and one is a hard seed. I’m still laughing at burgled and picturing the hamburglar 😂😂😂

[@nnvincent3]

Thanks for that last sentence, I also immediately pictured the McDonald's "Hamburgler" LOL!

[@carlferrara8183]

I was gonna subscribe but then you said “pay-tron” is that some kind of robot? (Jokes, I subbed)

[@travisjones44]

We say "Wife Beater" because everytime you watch an episode of cops ... there will be a man arrested for beating his wife and he is always wearing one lol

[@thomasmarley3646]

Marmalade has rind, Jam has seeds, Jelly is seedless, Gelatin is semisolid.

[@Monkeespankr]

And the gelatin we also reference as Jello even though thats more of a name brand than an actual name for the food.

[@dsclaiborne31]

Yep

[@ChristiaHall]

Jam also has fruit in it too instead of jelly, which has all the fruit, seeds and pulp squeezed out through a cheese cloth.

[@JGW845]

Marmalade is made from citrus fruit and contains candied rind from the type of citrus.

You've really outdone yourselves. So much for your education Joel.
