Comment on American and British English spelling and pronunciations

  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.

    Yeah, and bathroom suggests that there are baths or places for bathing.

    Water closet really is the right thing to call it!
