Store and jello.
As a Brit, I really don't like the takeover of the word 'store' at the expence of 'shop'.
Someone tell me when people stop 'shopping' and start 'storng'.
Jell-o is a brand name used for that sort of pudding. We Brits shouldn't jib at that. We seem quite happy to use hoover in exactly the same way.
