Sorry nead a moan, what is it with the younger generation calling mugs cups?
I keep hearing and seeing mugs described as cups, as far as im aware cups are usualy little and with saucers.

yes but do you say to someone "would you like a cup of tea/coffe?" or "would you like a mug of tea/coffee?" I always ask people "would you like a cup of tea/coffe?" but serve it in a mug as cups don't exist in my house!!!!
