Maybe she should have posted that pile of crap as AC? Ms. Dyson does her gender and her namesake an incredible disservice by spouting such ignorant bullshit.
1. Wow, classy.
2. I quote: 'Americans refer "burgers" as "sandwiches".. reserving the word "burger" to refer to just the patty...'

From the linked text: Scholarly, up-to-date etymologies, including dates to show when terms entered the language, and showing clearly labeled Americanisms. Hmmm...
4. Did I mention; classy?
Well, when I have trouble understanding the definition of a word, the dictionary is the first place I look. It just so happens that if you had known the definition in the first place, you wouldn't have been confused. Cool, you pointed out a cultural difference. Dandy. We get it. Just admit that you failed, and we can all move on.
And please, in the future, if you're not an American, kindly refrain from speaking for us. You got it wrong. We can tell you better than anyone what our customs are. Thanks.
From dictionary.com:
sandwich
[sand-wich, san-]
-noun
1. two or more slices of bread or the like with a layer of meat, fish, cheese, etc., between each pair.
2. open sandwich.
3. something resembling or suggesting a sandwich, as something in horizontal layers: a plywood sandwich.
-verb (used with object)
4. to put into a sandwich.
5. to insert between two other things: to sandwich an appointment between two board meetings.

Eh, at best you are being overly pedantic and as such myopic. Anyone confused by the association between a hamburger and the generic term "sandwich" doesn't even have the mental capacity to belong on the _other_ side of the Mickey D's chow line.
