Comments on: How to Make a Toilet Tank Sink http://www.comingunmoored.com/2009/05/toilet-tank-sink/ At last I had mastered the low art of coming unmoored. -- Joe Androe Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:22:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Steph http://www.comingunmoored.com/2009/05/toilet-tank-sink/comment-page-1/#comment-1109 Steph Thu, 21 May 2009 00:29:32 +0000 http://www.comingunmoored.com/?p=1917#comment-1109 Ah, the cursed British/American English thing. Catches me all the time with Charlie and he's been in the states for over a decade. (And let me tell you a drawl on top of an English accent sounds weird to people from both cultures.)

Especially considering most homes aren't using low-flow toilets over here yet. Of course, I'm firmly convinced that Japanese toilets should come with a user manual. :) Some of the ones I saw had a staggering number of features.

It'll fill up and be on the bottom in seconds. Ah, different meaning of "make" then adjective phrase followed by noun, not noun phrase then verb. Actually, when I saw the title I thought you'd had another disaster like the ballistic toilet tank lid with visions of the thing disappearing through the floor. Yet another difference between British and American English: here we'd call it a cistern, not a tank. That’s easy if you live on a floating home, just drop it over the side of your deck.
