    No because biscuits != cookies. Biscuits and cookies are different things, and we have both in the UK.

    Cookies are usually soft and crumbly and biscuits are usually hard and snap cleanly when you break them,

    It would have significantly improved this post to spend the very small amount of time to crop out the black sections.

    We do yes! Also internet forums are called e-pubs and the Royal Mail & British Telecom created a system called e-post in the late 80s to take care of our communication needs

      As a Midwestern American with a fondness for music from the UK, I both blindly accept your answer as 100% believable and complete bullshit at the same time lol.

      Nice work! 👍

    In France, websites have biscuits. However, the cloud has gâteaux, because it’s larger, of course.

    So that you didn’t waste your time reading this, biscuit comes from bis (twice) cuit (baked), as some recipes called for a second baking to dry them (so they were crunchy).
