Tl;dr: you’re on the Internet. Before authoritatively and incorrectly correcting someone, consider using it to verify that you’re actually correct first.
They responded to “US people say this” with “no, US people actually say this”. Then you said “Hey, there are places other than the US”.
Maybe before you correct someone you should check the thread you’re responding to.
Despite all that effort, he’s wrong as well. I’m born and raised in London, UK and we most certainly have differentiations. The description of preserves having elements of the real fruit is the same in the UK: I can go to the local supermarket right now and the shelf will have different sections for jams, preserves, and marmalades (which the person they were replying to were also correct in their description).
The thing I haven’t seen is American Jelly, as Jelly here is the same as Jell-O in the US.
When someone correctly says in the context of UK English “the yanks call (UK English A) (US English B)!” and they respond “no, we call (US English B) (US English B)” and proceeds to provide a US centric lecture of nomenclature, they tend to be contradicting them. On their own geographically correct usage of the word.
Corollary example also appropriate for the US. MtF person recently transitions and word is spreading.
Person 1: They even call Roy Martha.
Person 2: No, I call Roy Roy.
The only thing better than getting lectured on reading comprehension is being lectured by someone who didn’t comprehend the reading.
All that time and the best response you had is “nuh uh!”. When I counter an argument and the response is pure cope, like you here, it’s a pretty clear admission that you actually can’t respond.
I don’t know how your reading comprehension is this bad. The OP of this thread said they didn’t know what jello was because they lived outside the US. Deceptichum said “they” call jam jelly, with the “they” being US people. Then maryjayjay corrected that comment, saying “we” (meaning US people) call jam jam and jelly jelly, meaning they’re 2 different things. That’s when your comment came in saying “nuh uh, the world isn’t the US!”
I’m not sure how it can be much clearer. If you’re still having trouble please point out where you don’t understand.
Reiterating your previous response as you apparently can’t address my follow-up
I was wrong previously: the only thing funnier than being lectured on reading comprehension by someone with poor reading comprehension is being corrected by someone who is adamant you’re wrong but can’t actually tell you why. Yet I’m the idiot here. 🙄
Edit: I’m done responding to you as this is a colossal waste of my time and may be actively making me stupider, so feel free to have the last word.

Man, that’s a lot of words to still be wrong.

Ah, I see, so you were wrong from the start. Maybe you shouldn’t have responded at all, which was the point of my initial comment.
Thanks for at least being a consistently arrogant douche - I like to be sure before I block someone.
Please do, it’ll be no great loss for me. You responded with the wrong alt, though. Please be sure to block me on ALL of your alts.
Bro, this ain’t Reddit. I have one account, I browse maybe twice a day, and I calls 'em like I sees 'em.
