vital questions: UK vs US language usage - anyone?
Okay. Google is not shedding a lot of light on this, so, dear flist: cupboard and living room. Are both of these commonly used in the US? Are they used in the UK? Is there another term that sounds more natural in everyday usage?
[For clarity, my definitions would roughly be - cupboard: item of furniture with shelves not found in the bedroom (where it would be a closet/wardrobe) or bathroom (cabinet); living room: oh, it varies from house to house, but generally a room where household members might gather for things other than eating, often with television and sofa/couch/lounge etc.]
