vocabulary test
A couple of odd little questions regarding American English, any help would be appreciated. I haven't been able to find these on the 'translation' sites I've found.
a) When you use a hand-held mixer, do you call the beaters 'beaters' or something else?
b) Ring-binder - as in, a file with rings onto which the papers are threaded. Called something else? Also, if a person kept a collection of recipes hand-written in a small notebook, would it be reasonable or inexplicable to refer to the book as an 'exercise book'? What would you call it instead? I'm thinking of something with binding at the side, not at the top.
c) Another cooking question: would you say 'fold in the flour'? If not, then what?
(Also, there's a Harry Potter community which offers 'brit-picking', can anyone remind me of its name?)
