How to call them?

There's pencils with rubber's on the end all over the place. The only thing I've ever heard them called is "a pencil with a rubber on the end". I don't know that there's a specific term for them.

My Xbox/DVD/CD player is connected to a stereo amplifier. I've never heard the term "soundbox".

Thanks Wilso.

Still, I think the names might be different in the US or the UK, Canada, etc.

That's very possible. It certainly wouldn't be the first time.

Oristar- Are you sure that you don't mean a pencil with an ERASER? That's what we call the rubber thing at the end of a pencil!

I'm sure he(?) does mean that. In Oz they'd often just be called a rubber. But condoms usually aren't, if that's what you were getting at.

Yes, Wilso got it right. I meant rubber or eraser.

Oristar, a pencil with a rubber thing on the end is just called a pencil here. The rubber is called an eraser. I believe in the UK it is commonly referred to as a rubber.

We call a it a stereo (generically) if the system is all in one, ie shelf stereo or in the same compartment - altogether. If it is a separate piece it is correct to call it an amplifier.
