I am not going to debate this, but this is a language difference. In
Australia, UK, and other places, the thing you have over a sink that water
comes out of is called a "tap", whereas in the US (and possibly others) it
is called a "faucet". This is just in case you or anyone else didn't
realize this. There are some minor language differences could lead to
problems, for example in Australia it is safe to walk on the pavement, but
in the US it isn't!
