[edit] Origin
'The term "great" room originated in Southern California in the 70's when a homeowner worked with an interior designer for a remodel of such a room. The owners, parents of three girls, had called the room the "Girls' REcreation And Television room" for years.'
That's the way the article ends right now. It sounds bogus. I will remove it. If you know any real history, please add it, with sources.
I thought the term was used hundreds of years ago. But I can't be sure.
In modern usage, the term seems somewhat pretentious -- the article should say that. -69.87.203.184 (talk) 00:25, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
