    actually, a use apartment, though, flat is shorter and we seem to tend towards monosyllabism...

    It depends. I usually say apartment, but after studying so many other foreign languages that reference the word flat instead of apartment, I tend mix and interchange them.

    We miss our girl!

    When I live in a big building that had many units, it was called an apartment. When I lived in a house that was once a large single family home but had been split into an upper and lower level, that was called a flat. That's how it was advertised in the newspaper, and that's just how I've always thought of it.

    I believe here in the U.S., we say apartment.
    Possibly in a very large city, like New York they may
    use flat occasionally. I have heard flat used more
    for Britain.
