The first I'd heard of the term "comforter" was in the movie Superbad, sounds like a wanking tool tbh
Admittedly, English is not my native language but I never read the word "comforter". And I disapprove of it.At lunch today a colleague advised that when he was younger, he had a Toronto Maple Leafs "quilt".
I puzzlingly asked him whether it was a regular comforter, or an actual quilt. He insisted they were the same thing. I insisted they were not.
Thankfully, Wikipedia was here to save us: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quilt
According to Wikipedia: "In modern English, the word "quilt" can also be used to refer to an unquilted duvet or comforter."
How can a "quilt" refer to an "unquilted" object? That's literally demonic, and akin to the modern use of "literally" to sometimes mean "figuratively".
What say you? Do you use the term "quilt" to refer to any type of comforter? Can we all agree that all quilts must be quilted, and that an unquilted object cannot be a quilt?
Actually it's called college. Not from the US I take it? University is also an appropriate term but not one you would use in casual conversation.
Non-US: school
US: school
Non-US: university

Never realised how big this phenomenon was.
Non-US: cleat
US: cleat
Non-US: waiting for
US: waiting on
There are colleges in a university but there are no universities in a collegeActually it's called college. Not from the US I take it? University is also an appropriate term but not one you would use in casual conversation.
They don't call it the flea market for nothingIdk but how come those Mexican blankets make you itchy?
I don't associate the two, I think like you. However, for what it's worth, the most accurate definition for "Quilt" from the Unabridged OED is below. By this definition, a comforter conforms:At lunch today a colleague advised that when he was younger, he had a Toronto Maple Leafs "quilt".
