Truck-Lorry-motor. Bike- bicycle- pushbike. I love the English language, I love to play with words. I love the way that you can use many different words to achieve the same ends. Why on Earth should I curtail that to satisfy some purists?

Different words in different countries can mean something totally different & can be ok in 1 country but not another
