Comment on American and British English spelling and pronunciations
MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 1 year agoWait, everyone else doesn’t call in a washroom? Heathens!
Washroom promotes the incorrect assumption that people wash their hands. Any time spent in a public latrine will show this to be inaccurate.
Water closet, on the other hand, tells you exactly what to expect. Cramped, likely too dark or too bright, and riddled with moisture of both expected and occult origin.
Water closet is the way.
Compelling argument.
Yeah, and bathroom suggests that there are baths or places for bathing.
Water closet really is the right thing to call it!
Even some places in the US are switching over to calling them WCs.
