Yes, OK, Bill ~~ BUT what word do you have then, for what we call 'jelly': a pudding or sweet course consisting of a sweet gel, diluted, put into a bowl or mould, and permitted to set? - of which, IIRC, your Jell-o is one of the branded examples? If you don't just call it jell-o, what do you call it, in distinction from the seedless mixture in a jar that can be spread on bread (which we also call "jelly", and often use also as an accompaniment to meat ~ cranberry jelly for turkey, redcurrant jelly for lamb...)?
