Furthermore, red bell peppers are not simply "red peppers." There are a gazillion different types of red peppers. (In fact, most green peppers also come in a red variety). Below are featured a red serrano and a red bell.
Consider yourself educated. If you ever refer to green peppers or red peppers around me, I will ask that you specify what kind of pepper you mean.
P.S. All Kiwis may kindly disregard this post since you call bell peppers by an entirely different name. (Capsicum in case you non-Kiwis were curious).

I usually side with you on things like this, but I think this time you've gone too far. "Red/green pepper" has become a compound noun specifically referring to certain types of pepper. C.f. "blackboard"

Guilty, because if I'm referring to any pepper other than a bell pepper, it becomes a "jalapeno" or "a can of chopped green chili peppers", etc.
They would always call it a mix like "green bell peppers" or "red bell peppers" at the deli.
Oh, and I definitely agree that dried onions are not the same. So true. I do like the way it smells different than fresh onions. It's like comparing two completely different things... in a way :)
I just want to eat them. All.
