"point in fact" = "the fact of the matter is": both translate as "in my opinion."

I still look in the icebox rather than the fridge, although I was a wee one when my parents last had one.
I go to the store for a bottle of milk, although for years it has been sold here in waxed cartons. And I ask for a quart when the measure is liters (er, litres. Is it butter or buttre?).

Grocery stores here in Canada still have scales that weigh in pounds as well as grams, for which I am thankful.
