Why do Americans call them "doggy biscuits" or "dog biscuits"? We're not Brits, so why don't we just call them "dog cookies"?

I'm not sure. Canadians call them dog bisuits too. As for human cookies we have both bisuits and cookies. It depends on the type of cookie as to what we call it. Tea biscuits are a cookie but the lables tend to say tea biscuits. Most other cookies are just called cookies though.

Some britt spellings though are interesting. I wonder if australians use some of them. Canadians use some english, french, and american spellings. But it didn't dawn on me how different somethings are spelled til my ex boyfriend spelt tire one day as tyre.(He also got in an argument with me over how we say volkswagon here until I pointed at a commercial and said "see told you so")
