    In America we have one primarily language and it’s acceptable to call it chili, chilli or chile.

        and “chilli” kinda doesn’t work on account of “chilly” literally having the opposite meaning

      In America? One language? Talk about US-centric thinking, the continent is a bit larger mate.

        Drives me nuts when Europeans don’t get that America is the USA and North America is the continent.

        It’s like when idiots call Europe a country.
