MEC 101: Correction On Mechanical Terms. by Nobody: 5:20pm On Feb 24, 2017
Every discipline has its own terms same goes for Mechanical Engineering.
As applied to Cars:
You dont say shift the gear stick, rather you say select or engage the gear shift.
You dont say select gear 1, 2, 3, or so, rather you say select gear ratio 1, 2, 3, or so.
You dont say it's manual car or automatic car, rather you say it's a manual transmission car or automatic transmission car.
You dont say it's speedometer, rather you say it's tachometer.
You dont say the long vehicle(tractor truck) somersaulted, rather you say it jack-knived.
You dont say you car tumbled, rather you say your car skided.
You dont say the engine is rotating, rather you say the engine is being cranked.
As applied to human:
You dont say you will create a plate, rather you say you will develop a plate.
You dont say you will reproduce the spare parts,rather you say will fabricate ....
