DO YOU SAY TOILET TRAINING OR POTTY TRAINING?

Growing up in Ontario, Canada, the process of teaching a child to go to the bathroom was always referred to as toilet training. As I grew up and watched TV, it seemed that potty training was the phrase used by Americans for this, though it also seems I have heard more Canadians, in the media and in real life, use the latter phrase in the past few decades.


I personally use both interchangeably. 


I once read an article in a UK parenting magazine that treated them as two separate things. It had a section about how to get a little one from diapers to a potty, and then another section on how to move them from using that potty to a regular toilet.
