neutral  Helen Pringle: A dishrack is a rack that holds dishes for whatever purpose, a dish drainer (scolapiatti) is where you put wet/washed dishes so that the water can drain off them.

  -> Well, I think both terms are used (dish rack and drainer), but this what I would say. I would call the other type, for storing/holding 'dishes' a plate rack, as it's usually designed for stacking plates.
