Whatever you want to call it, I saw a corn field being HARVESTED down by Bedford on Saturday.

Locals still refer to such as picking corn and running beans, as they have all my life.  Whatever they wish to call it, message delivered. On how words and names have changed though, I'm never going to get used to the girls at the GAS station asking me if I "had fuel". The places they sell such are still "gas stations" and sell "gas" and diesel, to ME. (I've never heard such a place called a "fuel station".) What is technically correct isn't important though......again, message delivered but it will always sound odd to me. I think I actually heard the term about 8 years ago while chatting with a friend living in Seattle and he "stopped to buy fuel". I recall it because he got half mad at me at first for busting out laughing but, since he used to live here, he laughed too after I reminded him of "home" and our terms used here. God Bless |

Gas goes in most cars. Diesel and gas goes in most trucks. Fuel goes in my SPRINTCAR.

I suspect the change has more to do with the cash register (or whatever that thing may be called now) separating the type of purchase for tax computation and record keeping than a desire to sound "mod". There's probably another button that needs to pushed to separate such expenditures from the coffee, donuts, and smokes that are taxed at point of sale, as opposed to the taxes being hidden in the price.
Of course, the term "fuel" is also more technically correct, because there's about ten percent alcohol in what they call gasoline now, and even if you're buying diesel for your road vehicle, it's still fuel that will be used for vehicular travel and subject to the "gas tax".
I always think the "cut corn field" sounds strange, too. although I do recall in my very early years playing Indian in the "tepees" standing in grandpa's cornfield after they had cut the stalks near the ground and "shocked" (not "shucked", that came later) the stalks with the ears still in place for later shucking and shelling if needed. Sure were a LOT of field mice in each of those little kid-size "tepees", busy with their own harvest objectives, if I held real still for a couple minutes 8^) The good old days.

It's not "fuel station", it's "fueling station".
I still have to tell people the difference between a gas station and service station (not too many service stations around any more).
Sprint cars use racing fuel, which still contains lead (so does aviation fuel).
I like to use the term "petrol" just to mess with people.

Well, sorry gang but even further off base, I'd like to share something. Nothing to do with harvesting crops but does have to do with different names and/or words for things but the laughter this created has lasted longer than I could have ever anticipated and came from a simple conversation about certain types of medication. A friend, same guy in Seattle, was absolutely dying on the phone when I mentioned that the doc had given me "nerve pills" on top all the other crud I "need".  After he howled and rolled on the floor some he asked me for the NAME of the medication since such would tell him exactly what I was taking them for since "nerves" made no sense to him and he informed me that such was not a medical condition. I sent him a photo of the front of the prescription bottle that said: "Take 3 times daily for nerves". He had to call me back later because he was howling in laughter and was unable to talk and even though it was a year ago, he still asks me if I still take my "nerve pills" occasionally and still can't ask that without cracking up again. His wife worked at a medical clinic out there at the time and I guess she took the photo to work and the entire staff had a field day (uh....Hmm. I bet they don't HAVE "field days" in Seattle???. Ill have to ask ) laughing about it. I guess she also decided that any thought of moving to Indiana after they retire is now out of the question, LOL. God Bless |

over the pond here it is either a petrol station or a fuel station.
gas is something we cook on, heat some homes on, and put in cigarette lighters lol
