@hippyjoe1955 The word "biscuit" in British English refers to a very different confection!
I think its American translation is "cookie"... though why anyone though that a clever word for a computer routine, I really cannot imagine!

@ArishMell Yes you are right. Cookies in Canada and the US are what you Brits call biscuits. Biscuits here are much more like scones. Muffins here are similar to cupcakes.
