Isn't Q-tip a brand name used as a generic name like Bic or Biro?Cotton Bud = Q-tip
I don't know -- English muffins and crumpets look and taste the same to me and I'm quite a foodie...
It may also depend on which particular English muffin and which particular crumpet one is comparing also.
Anyway, back on topic...I have a British car, so I refer to its parts in "British" English. Seems appropriate.
Australia has a similar mix of UK English and US English, due mainly to the influence of TV over the last 57 years, spoken English is very different to what it was prior to the advent of television.
