I remember being in a group convo on MSN back in the day, and all the Americans said sidewalk, the British people said pavement and they made fun of me because I said footpath

Yes sidewalk! Ha footpath, that's a new one for me too. Also isn't pavement kinda broad since all kinds of ground can be considered pavement?
Do you have another word for street/road too?

You might be right on this one tbh because by definition I think a trail would be more like footprints left behind.

I think of them as a cookie even though they're technically a sandwich biscuit but that's just me!

Based on google search this is an American scone:
Which I think would be a harder, sweet version of a biscuit if that's what I think it is.

Yeah I don't eat US scones (I may have once or twice without knowing it was called a scone) but biscuits >>>>>
US Biscuits are soft, buttery, savory... a lot of people like adding either honey or gravy to them and I don't mind that but I actually just like them most when they're plain, they're that good.

You know my methods
|
most American words like pants and sidewalk were actually used here first and have changed but have stuck in America due to America being a much, much younger country
