Socket wrench
Fixed the implication that North American English is ‘universal’ English, and that British English is the exception. There is English, and then there is North American English. Also: Fixed the line which incorrectly stated a socket wrench is inserted into a socket. The entire tool, handle and socket makes it a ‘socket wrench’. Fixed the assertion that it’s commonly referred to as a ‘ratchet’. It’s presumptuous. Many tools have ratchets.Tags: Mobile editMobile web edit

Pot pie
The entire page is American-centric and need a lot of work. It implies incorrectly that ‘pot pies’ is a term known throughout the English speaking world, dating back for millennia. But the term ‘pie’ or ingredient-specific ‘meat pie’, ‘chicken pie’ etc. etc. is the primary term, and ‘pot pie’ should simply link back to that. The only way ‘pot pie’ deserves a page of its own is to briefly discuss the North American term and how/why it differs from the rest of the English speaking world.Tags: Mobile editMobile web edit

Deviant (comics)
→Fictional history: They arrived ‘on’ Earth not ‘to’ Earth. While ‘arriving to’ a place is used quite a bit of late, it’s clunky English and grammatically incorrect. One cannot arrive ‘to’ a place or an object. You travel ‘to’ it and arrive ‘on’ it, ‘at’ it or ‘in’ it.Tags: Mobile editMobile web edit

Collie eye anomaly
→Affected breeds: There’s no such thing as a ‘Scotch’ Collie. It’s as ignorant as calling Ewan McGregor a ‘Scotchman’. Collies originated in Scotland. Even the word ‘collie’ is derived from the Scots term for ‘coal’.Tags: Mobile editMobile web edit

Location is not specific enough and the lack of reference to Scotland may trouble some. The Hebrides are Scottish, and not an entity unto themselves.

Torch
Corrected as this article implied that only the UK use the word TORCH to mean electric, portable light. This is incorrect, as FLASHLIGHT is ONLY used in Nth. America. TORCH is used everywhere else.

The idea that dairy foods encourage the production of phlegm is stupidly unscientific. They DO NOT, and CANNOT produce phlegm. Dairy foods merely give the 'impression' of more phlegm.

Slim-fit pants
Tapered, peg-leg, carrot-leg, and ice-cream cone pants/jeans are not slim-fit or skinny jeans. Slim Jim jeans also fall outside this category as they do not, "have a snug fit through the legs".
