What am I, your invited guest, to do with this information? If someone else invites me to "their condo" should I behave differently?
- ghaff 2y agoNothing. It's just that, in the US, when you're renting a unit that isn't a whole house, you tend to call it an apartment as opposed to something else. It's just conventional word usage at least today.
- randomdata 2y agoDoes choosing a word that implies something not imply some kind of intent in wanting to have the receiver take something from what was implied? Perhaps there is some kind of social embarrassment in renting and thus apartment owners have come to try and differentiate themselves by using what originated as a legal term?
