What bugs me is when people call the air filter the breather. There are air filters and there are breathers, which are generally vents, when talking engines. Dizzy is a nick name, breather for an air cleaner is misnaming. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I know it.
Then there's the front rear on a 4wd. A what?? I call the rear a rear and the front axle is just that. 2wds don't have a front axles, at least not since 1960. Technically it's a front drive axle but people always understand when I just call it an axle.
