According to the article linked below, they were called 'English muffins' to distinguish them from American style cake muffins.

Have a great Thanksgiving, and if this still bothers you, take a deep breath and read the page you linked to.
"This bread is called “English” in the United States to distinguish it from our American-style cake muffins. In England, the bread known simply as a “muffin” hasn’t really changed since Hannah Glasse published what may be the first recorded muffin recipe in her hugely popular 1747 cookbook, The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy."
So maybe I should rename this thread to the Great Britain Muffin Conspiracy?
For crying out loud, this was a thread I started for some humor, and it started well until the fun police joined.
