I agree with you on that, along with margarine being "butter." I refuse to fall into either trap, but it sure annoys me when others do!!

whydo Americans call it cream, and use a creamer, when what they mean is milk,please? My first few times of visiting places for coffee, and being offeredcream, I was thrilled, as I envisaged little jugs of thick yellow delight.I drink my coffee black usually, but for that pleasure I would indulge. Butno... it means (usually) little plastic tubs of skimmed, pasteurized milk,or else a jug of ditto. Then again, the fancier places ask me if I wantcream in my tea, which sounds disgusting, so I say no, just milk, and theyexplain that is what they meant all along... I've never really understoodthat one...[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
