You're welcome Muriel.

Often, a language/jargon has lots of words in a domain where there're specialists: technical specialty (unskilled people don't make a difference between tools, they use a generic name with a qualifie while professionals have a different word for every tool); similarly, French language has several words in the domains of cooking, wars/military area, etc.
Here, it's funny as the French easily use "tapis" (we don't care much about the dimension of a carpet or a mat) and the English easily use "mat" (they don't care much if they put their feet on it, or a saucepan, or a plate...).
