minus-squareCharely6@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 month agoOr American English and maybe southern American English? Not sure thats different enough to count. Depending on how diverged they are people can communicate between them with various words or phrases that are different. Ex. Americans use the word toilet, England uses loo (which might also refer to the whole bathroom? I’m sure someone from England will correct me)
minus-squareSquiffSquiff@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 month agoToilet can mean the whole room if separate (i.e. no shower or bath) or just the appliance, depending on context. Can use loo to mean what Americans would refer to as ‘bsthroom’/‘restroom’.
