Yes and really the English word 'rubber' is disappearing from the language, in the context of school equipment, and being replaced by 'eraser'. Thanks for pointing this out, I've changed them all to 'eraser' as the best translation.
Reminds me of the time I was tutoring a kid, teaching her English... We went over school equipment vocab and I needed to give her the English equivalent of מַחַק mákhak. I thought about it a bit and said it‘s ‘rubber’ in the UK and ‘eraser’ in the US and I reeeaaally hope she remembers…
Not going to lie, it makes me giggle, but of course I know what it means.
Rubber, always used when i was in school, not allowed here. Why not?
Unless you say which type of question it was and exactly what your complete answer was, there is no way to tell what the problem might have been.
In translations here, both 'rubber' and 'eraser' are in the set of accepted answers.

I have never called it an eraser and was shocked to see this is wrong. British English is different to American English and this should be respected in a Welsh lesson,.
