Today, in language use I haven't noticed for far too long...
Does everyone in non-Australia seriously call them twin beds?
Twin? Really?
Single/double works so well. Twin/double is more... aren't they the same? It sounds weird.
I'm rather confused.

I've never really seen beds with extra length. That's interesting.

I had a queen single waterbed as a kid (Mum got them cheap, and figured they'd be good for my arthritis), and while getting linen for it was a pain (I think we mostly made do with double-bed stuff), I still miss it. (The bladder died after about ten years, and replacing it would have cost more than buying a new double waterbed.)
