I totally agree with OP on the frustration at the nit-picking. Firstly, ice lolly is a totally legitimate term and is the British English word for what she was describing. Using a translator, it might not give you every local variant for a word, and for those of you that do have English as a fist language, how many times do you have to look like dickheads on here before you stop thinking "Gee, there's a word I don't recognise. I wonder if I should look it up on the internet that I'm clearly already using, or should I just rip on someone that was probably right in the first place. **** yeah, I'll just rip on them." Secondly, before you get mad at someone for things like tense shifts, how about you take a second to check & see if the OP is from somewhere where English might not be their first language? After all, hvernig er íslenska þinn?

@icegirl38 - Ice-lolly is correct. Though I quite like frostpinni. (I wouldn't have had a clue what it was if you hadn't just said, but it's a cool word). Don't worry about the people hacking into you about the liquid thing, they're either trying to be funny, or just being dumb by attempting to be clever and not realising that you're not a native english speaker. I'd love to see them speak so much sense in Icelandic.

smartass.
