er, try "reading what you wrote, Toby, to wit:
You wrote and I quote:
<<" Direction indicator lamp = taillight that blinks when you want to turn.">>
lamp = BULB not "tailight". Besides, what is the BULB on the FRONT of the
car doing??
You also wrote and I quote:
<< "Direction indicator warning lamp = light on the dash that blinks when you
want to turn." >>
In this case "...lamp..." = Bulb in fixture on...
To most folks )IMHO_ "blinker" = a flasher.
And you also wrote and I quote"
<<"I had to re-define the word "blinker" for my dad

Seems to me that the "I had to...redefine..." tells me that YOU did not
define to yourself the proper terminology.
