I thought of cilantro/coriander, but that's the opposite case.
- GlenTheMachine 2y agoThere are two very distinct types of cinnamon…
- pcthrowaway 2y agoWell that's sort of a good example. The word "coriander" is used all over the world, but in some places refers to the leaf (in other word, what some places call "cilantro") and in other places refers to the ground seed.
