Oh yes! Unconditionally.
And TGEW, you need to give me back those precious page notes. I want to take pictures of them. Everyone should be able to see my flag of the United Barrow-Downs! It's like the UN one only with bones and a reaper. And no disaster relief whatsoever. We LIKE disaster.

THAT makes perfect sense.

Ooh. Shiny.

Sally has corrupted me. You guys have, too. I call cookies biscuts now, and chips crisps. ... this is not a *bad* thing.

Has our Anglophilia rubbed off? Shame on that.

Anglophilia or just common sense?

Also, a biscuit is a biscuit and a cookie is a cookie over here, or at least to me. Do you call everything cookies over there?

edit: Did some research. So your biscuits are almost the same as scones?
This is just confusing...

COMMON SENSE!

To my (American) knowledge scones are sugary things usually involving fruit; often in the shape of a 45-45-90 triangle. Our 'biscuits' are cardboard covered in lard . . . excuse me, they are flakey spheres of carbohydrate. Or something like that. I have a low opinion of most of them, save for the ones TGEW's mother makes. In short, scones are sugared; 'biscuits' are not.

You call biscuits 'cookies'? Whaaat? Every British language book I have ever read calls these things them biscuits. But I think I would trust a real Brit more than a book.

But let's not get too off topic now . . .

I do not know of this 'common sense' you speak of. It is Elvish to me. Apparently there are a lot of books on Britain that are off in some way or another. We've found a lot, seemingly.

I am not off topic, see:
Alaskamoot was fun. We talked about our Anglophilia and I think we enlightened Lottie.
