I've always wondered but what meal do the Americans have late afternoon/early evening/6pm?

Over in Northern England we call it tea but I'd imagine the yanks would confuse that with the hot beverage rather than a full meal.

I think it's commonly referred to as "supper" or "dinner."

The correct name for it is tea. I've encountered Southerners who refer to it as "dinner", and they refer to dinner as "lunch". It comes form being conditioned by too many American programmes.
