English Translation
In my pencil case, I have a rubber.
This might be an American thing, but I’ve never heard an eraser called a “rubber” (that word having an entirely different meaning).
Hi @Swifter8659,
It’s a US/UK thing, rubber being used mostly in the UK afaik.
If it makes you feel any better, we actually have a similar thing going on between France and Québec in this case 
:
une gomme = used in France
une efface = used in Québec
The word gomme is also used in Québec, but it means chewing-gum.
Language…
