This ought to be interesting... as a non-native speaker, yeah, what's the difference?

Is this a us based website?
I hope so, because I'm forever going against my natural Australian spelling and typing in American out of respect...

Been doing it for years on the US mustang forums, it's almost second nature...

Eg, color = colour, tires=tyres
All the dudes on the forum say: your instead of you're. Too afraid to say anything in case it's been colloquialised.

In the UK, a cookie is a type of biscuit whereas in America cookie is used for all biscuits. Also, biscuit is slang for breasts, hence the angel.

I don't know if it's the lack of sleep, or the difference in word meaning but this made me laugh so hard. In the US cookie is used for all biscuits hehehe.

I would have said, in the UK a cookie is called a biscuit where in America a biscuit is a fluffy puff of hot bread drown in gravy. Lol :p

Also, cookie is slang for other girlie bits.

ok... and where do crackers fit in?

Which is even more confusing, because in the US a cookie isn't a biscuit at all. :p

Is that why you know who offers all new comers cookies?

A cracker in the US is an unsweetened or salted cookie like thing. I'm not sure about in the UK maybe it's still just a biscuit.

Hehe

Why do you refer to me as "you know who"? I offer cookies because I think it's a nice funny gesture that makes new people feel welcome. I try to resist the urge to hit on people in their intro thread. I'm not always successful but I try.
