Surveyor calls bathroom shower room

because it has a shower instead of a bath (by choice, since I don't bath).

Now I get that semantically it could be correct, however. A room with a toilet, sink and overly large shower that could also hold a bath but we chose not to, is not a shower room. I think 'shower room' implies that it is dinky. And quite frankly it's larger than most bathrooms I grew up with. Definitely bigger than the bathroom in our old house.

This is not even a problem, but am I wrong for filling a little irked (not annoyed, as I do see his point, just don't agree with it).

Elite world problems I know.Hmm

For me, the clue is in the name. A bathroom contains a bath. Simple. Why do Americans (mainly) call plumbed rooms without a bath a bathroom, or even a restroom ? Baffling.
