Maybe I can start a war...
I went to school and learned that torque was   "ft-lbs". 
I often see and hear nowadays the term   "pounds - feet"

So whay are all those guys WRONG! I know my terminology is absolutely, 100%
correct, so whay are Thos other people using the completely wrong term of
pounds-feet?


:) mayf

Seriously what is the genesis of the different terms?
