TOILET / UNITAZ

[Alina Israeli]

Somebody took pains to write an article on the subject: http:// 
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restroom

On the subject of "bathroom" I must add that this word has affected  
our neighbors: in Quebec one has to ask for "salle de bain" (which  
goes against my grain) and in Mexico for baño (not servicio).
