This is so weird, I was just thinking about this thread yesterday, I do not understand either why is ok to use teapot and teacup not, lots of people when sees Melody said oh a teacup try to correct them but some people just don't want to hear it, they look at you like
so I do tell them if they see open to it, and if I have the time lol, to tell you the true here in Cali is very common the "T" word, it doesn't bother me as much anymore
