I have a question, or two:
It is to my understanding that, in the UK, you have "fitted caps" that are what, we Americans call "baseball caps". This query is twofold: what if these caps are adjustable? And what, if any< sports franchise logo adorns said caps?
And to Finland: Is there a Finnish equivelant to the Amreican game show "Wheel of Fortune"? If so, how does it work? Because, y'all use a lot more vowels than in English...

Re: Cross-Cultural Information Exchange
I have never used the expression 'fitted cap' when talking about a baseball cap, or heard anyone else say it either. The Libertines, by the way, assure us that 'there are fewer more distressing sights than that of an English man in a baseball cap, but they've never had to mark an English student's essay which is littered with references to her 'mom' and 'math'. That's so distressing it's practically physically fucking painful.

Or a med. student who cannot pronounce "duodenum" (there is no fucking "w" sound in the word, and I will throw one at you, if you pronouce it incorrectly - but that's because the Dean says that I'm not allowed to throw scalpels anymore).

For the US, the first would be a fitted cap (ordered by size, non-adjustable).
Second is a regular baseball cap.
