This is so clearly true I wonder if the author intentionally “misunderstood” the situation so they could rant. Bonus points for commenters years later making the same “mistake”.

No, they don’t really mean caramelization. No, no one else cares.

There are almost 300 comments in this post, I would say someone else cares :)

Ha! Fair point. I suppose I meant normal people that don’t comment on internet cooking rants like us :P

It's not clear to everyone. Until I read that comment, I had exactly zero idea of that. When a recipe says "carmelized", I foolishly thought it meant "carmelized".
