AC or Aircon

Here in India people say "AC" ? "Eric, turn on the AC please ?"

Well, nothing big but as you know subconsciously we Singaporeans are used to calling it "Aircon". In India this is unheard of. Serious. You walk into an shop selling Air Conditioners, and say "I wish to buy an Air Con", they will say "What's that ?"

Well. Different nomenclature for same things.

When i was in India recently, I saw signboards outside some of the restaurant with wordings like 'Chennai AC restaurant/hotels' etc. On the 3rd day i finally cant help it and asked my fren wats AC.

Then i realised its Air Con...
