What is the difference among faucet, tap, mixer? When I scan some on-line shop webstie. Some one use faucet, some one use tap. Does mixer mean the faucet with hot and cold water? I will confused these words, hope you can help me. Thanks.

"faucet" and "tap" are the same - "faucet" is American English and "tap" is British English. You are correct about "mixer" (sometimes said "mixer tap" in the UK, sometimes just "mixer") - it is a tap with hot and cold water running into it but just one spout for the water to come out of. Some mixers have separate hot and cold controls for you to turn, while others have a single control which you can turn to very hot, very cold or any position in between.

Interesting that Americans use faucet when the word comes from old Middle English - the fact that we use a more archaic word than the Brits is rather strange!
