Does it curdle the milk or something horrible? Or is it just 'not the done thing'?

So if you put milk in first, you bring the temperature down and fuck it all up.
I don't drink cheap shitty english teas though.

OK, as a social experiment I shall make myself two cups of tea at lunchtime and see if there are differences.

DEAR WORLD:
YOU ALL USE THE WORD "DIFFERENTIATE" INCORRECTLY.
PLEASE STOP IT, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT.

if the world uses it one way, that's what it means.

Although that's the case sometimes (and yes, it's how language evolves), there are still occasions where words are simply used incorrectly.
In the face of online evidence, I stand corrected. But I'm pretty sure they're recent definitions.

if you put the teabag in the milk, then you have a soggy mush and the tea leaves are effectively saturated with milk so the teaness is trapped inside.
now if you make the tea in a pot, you may or may not put the milk into the cup before you pour the tea. It's debatable wether or not you should do that or pour and then put the milk in. That's an argument that may never be settled
but if you put the teabag in the milk then you should be banished to the land of ice-tea for all eternity

But I wouldn't actually mind that punishment; I like iced tea. Sometimes I make my own if I'm very, very lonely.
