If I’m talking to an English speaker from outside of the US, is there any confusion if I say “soccer”?
For example, when I was in college a friend asked for a “torch”. I was confused for quite some time, because I didn’t know it was another word for “flashlight”. Does the same thing happen with the word “soccer”? Should I clarify by saying, “…or football”?
Thank you!
It sure as heck ain’t sour
Sweets are a specific thing. Sweet is the flavour that you’re thinking of, but if someone is using sweet as a noun, they’re never referring to chocolate.
Sometimes I use “sweets” to include chocolate
