[edit] "Triple-decker" vs "three-decker"

Bboth the Boston Globe and the Worcester Telegram and Gazette prefer three-decker as does the Worcester Historical Museum in its article on the historical signifance of the three-decker. http://www.worcesterhistory.org/wo-3deckers.html

I've heard both names used. Google search for "triple-decker house OR housing OR apartment OR condo" turned up approximately twice as many hits as the corresponding search for "three-decker", so I think the article should continue to use "triple-decker" as the primary term.

Triple-decker is a misnomer. These are historically called three deckers in eastern Massachusetts where they originated and are erroneously referred to as triple-deckers. --209.183.34.48 04:29, 30 December 2006 (UTC)ACB
