Over here, 'lemonade' is a broad term for any drink made by adding water to fruit syrup. Any fruit, not nescessarily lemon.

No, it's only drinks made from lemon-based extract. Other fruits and berries are called their own thing. I don't know what to translate the word to, English isn't enough. And juice is something completely different.

And the main difference Frumple is that the other english speaking places don't use lemonade as a general word for sofa drinks.

.. Or maybe it was the other way around. You're both wrong anyway and only Swedish way is the right way.

Looking at Wikipedia it is the non-American English speakers who call soft drinks lemonade. The fools.

In the UK the lemon juice + water + mint + sugar is lemonade and the lemon juice + fizzy water + sugar is also lemonade

You might want to inform your countrymen then, as I've heard "Sprite is lemonade" from multiple sources.

No wonder so many people are becoming atheists.

Mostly.

... maybe a little less than before. I'd probably be more willing to let it slide if the european demographic would concede jelly.

I could probably get behind that, if it came to it. Far as I'm aware most of the places in the US that ever see anything able to be called an elk doesn't really have people in it. Or elks. Canada might be a bit more peeved, mind you, but people don't pay much attention to them one way or another.

As a floridian, you may find that my willingness to sacrifice the nomenclature of an oversized deer that might as well not exist is a stance easily negotiated with.

Lelwut frumple, Elk live primarily in the northern parts of the US, you'd find them in Yellowstone for example. Ditto Alaska and the whole of Canada.
