Tea reference

Dear Editor:

RE: Tea time, Sept. 26.

Kudos to Jaime Myslik for correctly referring to “afternoon tea” in her Business Matters column about Wild Tart’s opening in Elora.

Many people have become victims of horrible Americanisms creeping across the border. In the U.S., afternoon tea is frequently referred to as “high tea,” which any self-respecting Scot can tell you is an entirely different “kettle of fish” (sorry, I can never resist a bad pun).
