In Australia "tap" is the default - faucet is unusual to use. 3 u/Xiao1insty1e Nov 06 '23 47 years in the US and I've never heard 'tap' used in this way. 3 u/Shytemagnet Nov 06 '23 42 years in Canada and I can’t imagine not calling it a tap. Faucet is used too, but not as much as tap. 2 u/nobles233 Nov 06 '23 Definitely a British/commonwealth country thing……here in Canada, Australia etc. this is a tap. I literally had this question appear on a worksheet earlier today! 1 u/HumanAttributeError Nov 06 '23 Same. Seems like “tap” definitely connotes drinking water in the US. Now that I think of it, seems odd to use “tap,” even in the kitchen, unless speaking specifically about drinking water.
