adjectives - What kind of rain is "sprinkles"?
It appears that MSN Weather has chosen an amusing adjective (from my British point of view) for the weather today:
I'm assuming the precipitation (sadly) won't contain any hundreds-and-thousands. To a British person, what is this equivalent to: drizzle, mizzle or deluge?
Answer
Use of sprinkle to describe a light fall of rain is fine in both varieties. Sprinkling is also used in AmE.
