@mikewtrapp.bsky.social I'm catching up with Smartypants and need to know where you stand on crisps/chips/fries.

I'm Irish and call "chips" (US) crisps and "fries" (US) chips, my partner is kiwi and calls both chips with no distinction. In Australia they are chips and hot chips. What's the answer?
