'High Tea' seems to go wrong whenever it leaves England. In Holland High tea is also misunderstood. Is associated with the 3 tier trays that I see used for Afternoon Tea and hardly anyone knows High Tea means the evening meal. I never knew the heights of the table played a distinctive part in this. Good for a reminder! I bet there are many borrowed word in all languages that are used in a correct incorrect way.
