Comment on It's weird that a room with just a toilet and sink is called a "half bath", when it in fact has zero bathtubs.

It’s a way to conveniently talk about the number of bathrooms. You can say a house is “three bedroom, two and a half bath” and you convey that there are two bathrooms and one “washroom”.

  Sure, it could mean that, but I don’t think any could person would go to that conclusion.

What gets confusing are these large homes, or McMansions that list 5 bedrooms and 7 and a half baths. So are they listing 3 powder rooms at 1.5 baths? I can’t afford them, so I only see it online; but that part gets weird. I have seen descriptions that then list full and partial though.
