I meant Oso, not you Becca ;). You posted while I was previewing my post, so I added in the last little bit about England which made it seem like I was responding to you. Anyway, point is we don't call it jelly in Oz unless it's Jell-O.

I know that. I was giving you a guidline to what most of us call the various products.:)
there's always room for Jello.
my point was simply that here in the states there is a distinction between the two although jelly could be a subset of jam maybe.
ok, 2nd day of pushups:
he got 3 decent ones and squeaked out 2 more w/ lots of body contorting.
Good for him....
It may take a little while, but he'll get it if he stays motivated. Oh, and the jam jelly thing is the other way around OSO
like so many other things here I don't really understand why any one really ****ing cares what someone else calls what they spread on their toast.......
but, thanks for the motivational...it's kinda cool to be able to spnend so much time working with just one kid versus 20.
Jam = jelly (kinda, in America). Isn't one made of real fruit and one is artificial?Quote:

A queue is a line. Well, we use it when referring to jobs that are waiting to run in mainframe (they're "in queue"), but doesn't it normally mean waiting in a line at a store or something?
A fortnight = two weeks, like the Wimbledon.
Dude, we distinguish?Quote:

Well, ok, honestly, when I was a kid all I ever heard was "jelly," and I'm pretty sure that's all I ever ate. I just assumed they were the same thing.
What exactly is jam?
Iron, when I was in North America there were a bunch of people who didn't know what a queue was. Lineup was all they knew.
Fortnight? You're the one who gave me **** over that one ;).
sweet ****ing jebus, dude, you're worse than bl. the limeys and aussies even gave you links to work with, yet you still won't look. :DQuote:

ahem, I provided the link.
AND, as I learned it from my grandmammy, Jam is just fruit and added sugar. Jelly is with the added pectin which thins it out a bit. The biggest difference is that when she made jelly she strained the entire concoction through cheesecloth to strain out the fruit solids...which she tended to add back in to other concoctions when making preserves or marmalade. So, the jelly ended up clearer because of the lack of solids.
sheesh, and aren't we the biggest group of ****ing morons on the planet arguing about the god**** differences between jelly and jam. put it on yer **** toast and if it tastes good, keep eating it.
once again the biggest problem hear at KFM...the overcomplication of the simplest things.
:mad: What a grumpy spoilsport :mad: This is important stuff Oso!
:D
:p :D
sure, but don't you see the parallel between this and every other inane argument that happens here?
"no, no, no...the foot must be turned at a precise 33 1/3 degree angle off of centerline for that dim mak technique to work"
"NO, my sifu learned from him BEFORE he went insane"
:rolleyes:
;)
ahhhhh, I feel so much better now. just need a bourbon & ginger ale and I'm off to bed with a cleaner conscious and a bright shiny soul.....
AND, FTR, my grandmammy was just 3rd generation scotch-irish...and made some hella good jam and jelly....never liked the preserves or marmalade cuz I hate little bits of stuff floating around in my food.
