A common practice here, too, kiiti.

I confuse my students with British English 'chips' and 'crisps' and the American English equivalents 'french fries' and 'chips', respectively. In Spain there is just one term for both; 'patatas fritas', and they are really surprised that I find that hard to understand when they are so different!

"French fries" has won out over "chips" here, Andy (in my youth the contest was a lot closer), but we still call places that sell them on the street chip wagons.

I gather so-called international French uses "chip" for "potato chip". Barbaric.
