And that is why this has become so pervasive as to become the new "normal". We have allowed the usage of incorrect words to describe things. When I was growing up, I was taught the standards and use them. My 29 yr old son knows these standards as well, because he was taught them. I still attempt to educate people of the correct way to describe their concerns on their vehicles when they ask for my help with a problem.
