Do you say 'white blackboard'?
English is not my first language, so I'm not sure what you commonly call one of these:
I'm trying to choose between blackboard, white blackboard, or maybe just 'slate'.
That is quite simply a whiteboard.
Blackboard can be defined as:
A smooth, hard, dark-colored panel for writing on with chalk.
Whiteboard can be defined as:
A panel covered with white, glossy plastic for writing on with erasable markers.
I most often hear these referred to as dry erase boards.
That is, quite naturally, called whiteboard, Bierce does not have an entry for the word but it would probably be:
- the writing board that always get written on with permanent marker
I refer to it as simply a whiteboard.
