I understand the Americans do not like the word "toilet" when it is used in a request
I understand the Americans do not like the word "toilet" when it is used in a request.
For example, " I would like to go to the toilet." Do the British feel it is inappropriate? When I was in primary school, my classmates and I always ask our teacher "May I go to the toilet." We were learning British English.
Thanks.
