I l*love it* when somebody pretends to be an absolute authority and

Here we go.

Steam engines. Internal combustion?

And you even referred to steam engines later on.



It's just the stupid hair-splitting over nonsense that posters with
nothing to add engage in to have something to post.


Krausie....didn't you claim to have been an etymologist ? I thought the
IEEE article would be of particular interest to you. Unless like
everything else you write your etymologist claim is just more make believe
