    Default a word

    We say "my watch strap is black". If that strap is made from metal forexample silver or something else what do we call it? Strap or not?

    I meant that "Strap" is always acceptable whatever material it is.
    I should be more careful with the use of language.
    Thank you anyway.

    It's probably more important to read the question carefully.

    Your contributions are welcome. If you are not a teacher, however, you need to state that clearly in each thread. After all, this is the Ask a Teacher Forum and posters are expecting help from a teacher. If you are a teacher, please be aware that Net speak is frowned upon, and not to be encouraged.
