Mashable: Printable gender-inclusive bathroom signs you can put up anywhere that needs it
Printable gender-inclusive bathroom signs you can put up anywhere that needs it
Womens Restroom, Mens Restroom (signs on doors that say WOMENS and MENS) — wrong!!! Womens Issues, Womens Lib, etc. Do not let these mistakes that other people make confuse or distract you. They are WRONG. Usually these errors occur because people never learned the difference between plurals and possessives. Woman is singular. Man is singular.
I've always been confused by the terms washroom, restroom, bathroom, lavatory, toilet and toilet room. My impression is that Canadians would rather say washroom while Americans would probably say
I have a specific question: Are Americans more inclined to use "bathroom" or "restroom" about a bathroom/restroom with several sinks and stalls in a company building?
If the room only has sinks for washing, it's a washroom. If it has toilets, it's a restroom. If the room is in your home, it's a bathroom. Here's an odd idiom of the US. If someone asks, "May I use your bathroom," the person is asking to use the room to eliminate, not to bathe. So, a room in the home with a toilet & sink is called a bathroom, even if it lacks a tub or shower.
word usage - Which to use, 'washroom' or 'restroom'? - English Language ...
Also, why would it sound crass in just the US to use the word that literally all the other countries use? Ladies room and mens room arent that formal in the US. I do agree I heard bathroom and restroom used the most there, with restroom for the public toilets and bathroom for the ones with a bath.
