To me, Jello is gelatin. Jelly is fruit and sugar, boiled to a mash, then strained and allowed to gel. Jam is fruit and sugar, boiled to a mash and allowed to gel without straining first.
People in Puerto Rico use 'jelly' to refer to gelatin. I thought they were just mis-translating. I didn't know there were places in the English-speaking world that used the word like this. So, I learn something new everyday. (By the way, they also call hair-gel 'jelly' here.)
A rest room is the polite way to say bathroom. (The super-polite way, I suppose, would be to say 'powder room'.) A bathroom may or may not have a bathtub. It always has a toilet. Toilet, of course, being a flushable seat-like device, not the room itself.
