The difference between American and English biscuits freaked me out the first time I heard it, someone mentioned "biscuits and gravy"
Yes, their biscuit is very similar to the scone and the trick to the American biscuit is the layered effect, a lot of people make with shortening.
I believe the Americans call biscuits cookies - it's like the term Jam, Americans call Jam Jelly

In Canada the distinction is that "jam" usually is thicker and chunkier, has seeds and chunks of fruit, whereas jelly does not!

Not sure if it's applicable other places, but we're pretty serious about our preserves

Nobody mentioned Oreos so far?
I was going to as they are nice dunked <- I do prefer them with hot chocolate - Griffins Gingernuts are my favourite dunking biscuit.
