The separation of a common language. It's a wondefull thing isn't it?

What surprised me was that a couple of week ago we had a commander in this thread claiming to enjoy his Jack Daniels.
With the strong single malt bias in this thread, I was sure it was the start of a Whiskey vs Whisky war.

Nothing happened at all. Goes to show how much people care for their .

I don't care what whisky you drink, as long as it isn't mine.

I am Dutch, it doesn't get any more neutral so maybe I can offer my services as an independent arbiter?
Biscuits are cookies, obviously, and the other biscuits do look a lot like scones to me.
(And we haven't even begun to discuss what gravy should look like)

I'm not entirely certain how neutral you could be in this case because I'm led to believe the word cookie (which here refers to a specific style of biscuit) is actually derived from the Dutch usage of the word koekje :D

At least with regards to official Canonn business.

What I'm surprised with at the moment is that nobody has started an argument about the pronunciation of the word scone. <ducks>

Right... but in Dutch we can use koekje as well as biscuitje (digestive). Pretty neutral there.
Also, we say beschuit to indicate hard round breakfast toast as well as a softer type that vaguely resembles American biscuits but certainly is not consumed with gravy that looks like ragout.
Maybe a bit too neutral to cast a vote in this debate...

Random thought

At this rate we're averaging 5 threads a year... does it scare anyone else to think we'll be on thread 8 or 9 by this time next year? We've surpassed the Open/solo thread as well as a few other threadnoughts as well.

But what percentage will be about Dutch vocab; biscuits etc. I bet we already win on that front. Owned.

I can't... I just can't stand aside anymore.

That's what we call cookies in (Soviet) Russia.
