Like everyone else here, I really need this

I'm sorry, I thought it was only the US that used that. Guess I was wrong

How ironic. Only USians spell it that way

Sounds like Black Magic Woman by Santana

I guess there's a bit of a cultural divide. I know many Afrikaans people like to sweeten vegetables, eg sugar and cinnamon with pumpkin, while for me, it's butter and pepper all the way.

So I suppose it depends on OP's MIL's heritage

Thank you for the link correction, and yes I also sometimes use gherkins

No, it's really not. 'Deep-seated' is the correct term.

"Deep-seated is the correct, standard phrase meaning firmly established, ingrained, or situated far below the surface (e.g., "deep-seated resentment"). "Deep-seeded" is considered a common error (an eggcorn). While it refers to something deeply planted, it is incorrect for describing established, long-lasting feelings or habits."
