Merge Flatshare with this article, not the other way around. English wikipedia should reflect American english, because the number of people in the world who speak American standard english is far higher.

• proscriptive pronunciations on "standard english" (sic) should only be made by people aware of basic capitalization issues. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.213.76.163 (talk) 08:14, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• English wikipedia should reflect English English as the language originated there. Besides, Flatshare and Housemate are unambiguous. Thanks to American English using Roommate as someone sharing any form of living arrangement, and not just a bedroom, Roommate is ambiguous. --92.8.105.118 (talk) 12:54, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am just wondering is there any college dorm at all offering a room with the opposite sex? -- Taku 17:27, 14 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Why do you think it's too European, it's called Roommate, in most of the world a room mate is someone that shares a room (like in a dorm) so it seems entirely US centric, as 95% of the world would be confused by the term. Also whats wrong with an article being Euro centric? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.86.95.180 (talk) 05:43, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
