y'see this is a common misconception
Jelly is not american for jam, it's a related but different product, main difference being lack of actual chunks of fruit (think of Bramble jelly) we have Jelly and they have jam it's just that they mostly use the former and we the latter.

so now you know.

yep and this, in many ways makes more sense the the way we do it
having 2 different things called the same.

don't get me wrong, I'm still all about the yank-hate, but I like it to be intelligent and for good reason.
