I have no idea I just rarely get to be the first poster on a thread so I'll hazard a guess
Orange jam sounds too common for a true english gentleman to use for his breakfast thus the earl of strathamshire came up with the word marmalade in 1882. Probably |

The Difference between Jam, Jelly, Marmalade (taken from the web as I cant be arsed to type it)
Jam is typically made from the whole or cut fruits, cooked to a pulp with sugar, producing a thick, fruity, spread.
Jelly is made using only the juice of the fruit and sugar. It is a slightly more complicated method as the fruit, once cooked needs to be strained slowly overnight through a muslin cloth or jelly bag. This juice once collected, then is cooked with sugar to produce the jelly.
Marmalade is similar to jam but made only from bitter citrus fruits. The name of Marmalade originates from the Portuguese Marmelos, which is a quince paste similar in texture to an orange spread. |

"I don't know but why is jam called jam anyway? XXX"
Etymology of 'Jam' -
"fruit preserve," 1730s, probably a special use of the verb 'jam' - "press objects close together," - hence "crush fruit into a preserve." |

Jelly doesn't have bits in it, jam does. If the organge stuff has bits, then it's jam. If it doesn't, it's jelly. There's a clear difference.  |

"Why is lemon curd not lemon jam then?
Lemon curd isn't made the same way as jam  .
Maybe not but should it's name be changed to gurning curd? "
I make a really good lemon curd that actually does make your taste buds go  and your lips smack together |

"Why is it when you sneeze your eyes always close "
Because your eyelids protect your eyes from the force of the sneezing pressure and it's speed otherwise they would fall out of your eye sockets |

"And I still don't get to be the first poster on a thread  "
Tbh the only way to guarantee being the first poster is if you click the "Post New Topic" button.
If you entitle it "Why Am I Never The OP on a Thread?" it'll help me find it. Then I will gladly spend all evening trying to work out if there's a way I can post above you

Damn! I always hide it behind an ironed copy of the times too. |
