English is not a subset of US English. It's the other way round. Kthxbai.

PS. US English speakers out there - I know that using the word "toilet" is deemed somehow impolite, but is it true that it's only ever used to refer to the plumbing fixture? (If you're not using terms like "commode" instead) That is, it's not used to refer to the "smallest room" at all?

Sometimes it's in the bathroom, but often it's not, probably so you don't have to worry about someone being in the shower when you wake up with a full bladder.

That, I admit, would be useful. I have a full bath upstairs and a half bath downstairs in my little condo (the bath downstairs shares a room with the washer and dryer), so if I had guests and really got desperate, we'd be okay [g].
