minus-squareJackbyDev@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·35 minutes agoIn the US we call bathroom sinks sinks as well. I’ve heard basin before, I wouldn’t be confused by it, but it’s not really the standard. Prior to reading this I may have assumed “basin” referred to sinks that are standalone on pedestals as opposed to ones built into counter tops.
