I go nuts during news broadcasts when they describe heavy equipment.
It's always called a 'bulldozer', even if it's really a backhoe,
excavator, wheel loader, etc. It's called a crane, even if it's a
work platform, forklift, or anything that generally sticks up in the
air.
It assures you that they're probably wrong about the terminology on
subjects you're not familiar with. To paraphrase, "It must be
inaccurate because I heard it on TV."
