| Nov 19, 2016 at 15:16 | comment | added | Lambie | Ah, I believe that Australian name would mean neither BrE or AmE. It would be: AusE. Which is fine and great. Ergo, my statement is correct. Long live the Aussie who have just great expressions. Cooee! | |

According to google "lounge room" is the Australian name for living room, as well as Cambridge dictionary. dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/lounge-room – Industrious 5 mins ago | |

| Nov 19, 2016 at 14:30 | comment | added | Lambie | lounge room is not a living room (AmE) or sitting room (BrE). In fact, lounge ROOM is somewhat unusual altogether. | |
