I s'pose, but most people, at least in America, use "roommate" or "roomie" for two people living in the same house/apartment/whatever, even if (as is usually the case in non-college-dormitory settings) they have seperate rooms. I've heard house-mate a couple times, but it's not very common. -- Oh Lord, grant that we may always be right, for thou knowest we will never change our mind. - Scots Prayer http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/X-Files/ http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/Books.html ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
