The word feels a little old and a little British. You still see it on shop fronts, and in the phrase confectioner’s sugar, which in American recipes means the very fine white powder used for icing (in Britain, icing sugar; in Taiwan, 糖粉).

The word這個字feels聽起來a little old有點老派and a little British又有點英式。You still see it你還是會看到它on shop fronts在店面招牌上，and in the phrase confectioner's sugar還有confectioner's sugar這個說法裡，which在美式食譜裡in American recipes means指的是the very fine white powder used for icing用來做糖霜的非常細的白色粉末(in Britain, icing sugar在英國叫icing sugar；in Taiwan, 糖粉在台灣就叫糖粉)。
