English terminology

[C M Smith <cmsmith@domain.elided>]

Pretty accurate translation list. I offer two addenda (note technically 
correct pluralisation)as follows:

Monkey Wrench more often applies to a Pipe Wrench than an adjustable 
spanner used on cars. An adjustable spanner is more often called a crescent 
wrench, although I concede it depends on which type of adjustable spanner 
is in use. The crescent wrench is the universally used adjustable spanner 
in North America for work on cars.

Methylated spirits are referred to as Methanol, although denatured always, 
it is superfluous to refer to methanol as such. In Canada, methanol is also 
commonly referred to as gas line anti-freeze, and when dyed blue and 
diluted with water to a freezing point of between minus 35 and minus 40 
degrees is called windshield washer fluid (dyed pink in summer it becomes 
bug wash).

A fender is a wing, and a rocker panel is a ???? sill? it's the outer panel 
of the frame rail running under the door openings.

Happy Christmas to you
