Dozer vs. Bulldozer - What do you call it?

[/pine]

There痴 plenty of knockoff channel locks and crescent wrenches that are better than the original. Has anyone found knockoff vice grips that don稚 suck? I致e seen plenty and the release always suck.

the point was...most call any slip joint pliers "channel locks"...they call adjustable wrenches "crescent wrenches" etc., etc...

Now if you could just get people to stop using the word "literally" inappropriately.

I literally was about to say that.

Got it, officially incorrect. By, your evidence. I'll let them know.

However, when the word tarmac is technically incorrect, it's not incorrect. Got it.

Yeah, you tell 'em I said so, and they'll say "What?" :laughing:

Just so you know what you're talking about. John Macadam was the guy who invented laying a number of base courses and sealing them with Tar = Tarmac

McAdam was the gravel layered road developer, Guglielminetti and Hooley added the tar.

Back in the day, 60’s - 70’s, The Caterpillar Handbook listed a
”Crawler Type Tractor” which was tracked machine with no blade. The blade attachment for the front of the Crawler Type Tractor was listed as a Dozer Blade. Modern slang has combined terms.
