  • 01:09 01:09, 19 October 2021 diff hist +10 Socket wrenchFixed 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.

  • 14:16 14:16, 4 September 2021 diff hist +26 Pot pieThe 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 edit Mobile web edit

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 edit Mobile web edit
