Right.  :-)  That's how I use it, because otherwise people would look at
my funny, but that doesn't stop me from feeling that the distinction is
weird.  :-)  And, actually, I do distinguish "sheet" and "blanket",
*but* it feels weird to me to call the part that goes over the mattress
a "sheet".  It may be the same material, but pillowcases are the same
material, but no one would call them sheets as well.  :-)

So, basically, I'd divide it up as: pillowcase, bottom sheet, top sheet,
blanket; with the last two also forming a category "cover".  I just see
the top sheet as being more like a blanket than like the bottom sheet.
