Thank you, everyone who answered my last random question :) Needed confirmation that "bomber jacket" was a commonly used US term cos the clothing sites I looked at talked about "flight jackets" as often as "bomber".

And another one - anyone have any experience of Joshua trees? Are they spiky or prickly at all? Cos I can't decide from the pictures I've seen and no one seems to mention it in any description I can find.

[Edit to add:] Also, can you confirm if 'skepticism' is the typical US spelling? My usual dictionary site doesn't give any indication. Thank you!
