Questions about Vocabulary
I have two questions about vocabulary. I wonder if you can help.
1. Can I call a felt-tip pen "color pen"? Will people misunderstand it as ballpoint pens with many colors?
2. I once sent some snacks to my friend in the US and was about to write "crackers" on the content list. Will people misunderstand it as fireworks? Or can I call saltine crackers "cookies", too?

No, in the US, "crackers" are not fireworks nor are they cookies. They usually are saltines or various flat wheat squares. Firecrackers are fireworks; cookies are deserts.
