Every point made above is valid , HOWEVER a point that can be made is we seem to strive towards restoration and authenticity here, -so why not at least strive towards calling an item by its proper name?
Think about this for a moment. It is not a problem to call Henry (who I just realized is now banned
) by his correct name, -or Jeff or Marshall by their correct name, ...but imagine the responses I would get if I were to call Jeff by another name such as Bill or Marshall simply because I think that name better suits him. The same might be said for any other person. If Jeff was in a crowd of Fordbarn people and I call-out or address him as 'Mike', would you not agree that this would cause confusion? I am guessing that everyone in that group would expect me to call Jeff by his correct name so there would not be any confusion and would even correct me. To even further this, we seem to have no problem calling a car a car, a truck a truck, --and we don't call a refrigerator a stove, so why do we not take the same position with calling Model-A parts by their proper name? 
Just food for thought. Have a great day everyone!!

, in our LOOOONG conversations!
Here's how it is in the real world (Midwest farm country). You got up in the morning and ate BREAKFAST, worked 'til noon and ate DINNER. Then you worked and did chores until 6, went in and ate SUPPER. When you were harvesting and had the neighbors helping, you served them LUNCH (sandwiches and lemonade) at mid-morning and again mid-afternoon. Calling the evening meal "dinner" was for sissified city folk!
