Here's a few.

What is the difference between a motor and an engine?

A wagon and a trailer?

A bullet and a shell?

Asphalt and tarmac?

If the person you're talking to knows what you really mean when using them there's usually not a problem. That is, until someone wants to have some fun. You know, being all proper and all. :roflblack:

My all time favorite on spyderlovers is: break vs brake and then of course you have there vs their. I'll stop there.

That's not true. I used to specify motors for special build air cond. equipment. Their rating was h.p. because that's what they produced; actually they produce mechanical energy measured in watts and 746 of them equals 1 h.p..

Engines (internal or external combustion) burn fuel and motors don't and of course also use the h.p. measurement.
