They're the same thing, right? Green olives are just younger, right?

As Cjh said, depends on context. For plain eatin', green.

Yes.

I'm against pitted olives on principle, if only for the reason I like the feel of scraping the flesh from stone on my teeth. It's uniquely satisfying.

Both green and black olives were a staple side when I was growing up. I'd put the black ones on the ends of my fingers and pretend to be a monster or alien.
