Hello,

I'd like to know: Is water closet another saying of rest room? Many thanks.

Yes, it is. So are bathroom (not always, though), loo, and lavatory. Both bathroom and rest room are considered euphemisms (look it up), where bathroom is more frequently used in Britain, and rest room in America.

Thanks alot, Steven. By the way, could also please tell me if it is proper for me to say "your addiction to this forum was renewed?". If not, could you please suggest me some other words to replace renewed. Many thanks.

I guess you could say it that way, except that you'd better use "has been renewed", since the renewal continues into the present. Perhaps it would be even more natural to say "you have become addicted to this forum again". And, yes, it appears to be so!

Thanks again, Steven.
