I take it you are not italian OP
here man, educate yourself.
"The word panino [pa'ni:no] is Italian for "small bread roll"; its plural form is panini. The word comes from the Latin cum panis,"with bread."[1]
Outside Italy, panini is often incorrectly used as a singular word (like salami, also an Italian plural noun) and is sometimes even solecistically pluralisedinto paninis.
In Italian, panino refers properly to a bread roll and a panino imbottito (literally "stuffed panino") to a sandwich. A paninoteca is a sandwichbar."

BTW i dont think there is a difference between a sandwhich and a panini, is more of a cultural thing, so im assuming you think every italian man should bequestioned for having this word as part of their vocabulary?
