Wikipedia says bulldozer if it has a blade.

There are reporters and other ignorant people that call any yellow piece of equipment on a construction site a "Bull Dozer". Yet others must be in a time warp for they talk of Steam Rollers!
Then, there is the term "Back Hoe". I only ever considered a tractor mounted unit to be such, but apparently it refers to the direction of shovel movement as opposed to a old style shovel like found in an open pit mine.

What a bizzare story. Since he was on the stuff, at least he felt no pain.
The any piece of construction equipment being a, "bulldozer" thing, has is always been humorous to me.
The media is also particularly ignorant when it comes to aviation.

I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to aviation. All I know is prop or jet engine, isle or window seat. Am I missing anything?
