Chips

Paula and Daniel had chips with their dinner tonight. I got some of the softer ones. While I don’t normally like potatoes, I liked these chips. 

Daniel told us chips are called French fries in America, while crisps are called chips there. I guess Swedish has borrowed the American word. Then Daniel told us that in Australia, both crisps and chips are called chips. This seems like it could cause confusion. I an glad we do not have to think of such confusing things in the British English we use in Europe, nor in Swedish or American English.
