I do not know why these are known as ‘pot’ pies. There isn’t a ‘pot’ of any kind concerned. However who am I to argue with phrases, their utilization, and that means (or lack thereof).
Phrases, like all the pieces else, evolve.
I used to be concerned in a dialogue about DuoLingo just lately – with the Brits claiming that there have been too many American phrases within the translations.
Humorous – I hadn’t seen. However there do appear to be some frequent British grammar mis-uses.
On to the pie.
