Re: [Audyssey] Moaning Myrtle's lavatory
Hi Hunter, I am glad you recognized that my Sarah game is supposed to be taking place in Harry Potter's world in the Hogwarts castle but without Harry or other students being in it. I am hoping this ploy will let it sneak past the copyright restrictions. If not, there would only be a few changes to make the game generic as a magic castle.

Re: [Audyssey] Moaning Myrtle's lavatory
Hi phil. Yep, a sign saying Girl's toilet is often the way, though quite often men's and lady's toilets just have a litle plaque on the door showing a black silhouette (often tactile), of a figure in trousers or a skirt. most schools, and all the buildings here at my uni do this. However, sinse both male and female wizards in the Hp universe wear robes , I'd think they'd probably use a written sign at Hogwarts. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Moaning Myrtle's lavatory
Hi thom. Having the two in the same room does occur here as well in various places (my bedroom here at uni for example), but the two things would stil be referred to separately ie: where's your loo? in the bathrom also, having a separate room just containing a toilet is fairly common in most houses over here. I think it probably comes from the days when people had outhouses, - and in some more raural parts of England, that only stopped in the 1970's. it's only when this sort of thing comes up that I actually realize how different Us English and Uk English actually are. Once I tried to write a story entirely in Us English and found it extremely difficult from the number of grammatical diffferences and other expressions. One particular trouble I always have relating to audio games, is that Sod is a minor swearword (particularly in the Midlands and Yorkshire I think). It's quite odd for me to here people calling a game something that my mum would say if she stubbed her toe, ;D. Beware the Grue! Dark. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Moaning Myrtle's lavatory
In the US, the toilet is one fixture that is in the bathroom. There are others, but it is the one most frequently used, so when someone says that they have to go to the bathroom, people usually know why. -- Assault is a behavior, not a device. - Original Message - From: Dark [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, January 27, 2007 3:02 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Moaning Myrtle's lavatory Hi Phil.

Re: [Audyssey] Moaning Myrtle's lavatory
Hi Dark, I am not sure when or where it got started, but the modern American bath room, lavatory, etc contains a bath and a toilet in the same room. More upper class homes have divisions in the rooms, but the average American apartment, trailer home, or house has them together in the same room. I figure calling it a bath room even if the room only contains a toilet, like in a store, is more a matter of good old slang at work. ___ Gamers mailing list ..
