Default Correct Terminology

Lynn and Colin - I don’t know what you two are trying to say by emphasising the word “irrelevant”. The adjectives “light, medium and heavy” when classifying military vehicles, especially armoured vehicles, are very important as they portray to the reader the basic capacities and capabilities of the vehicle. It is a way of differentiating between say, reconnaissance vehicles such as a Ferret and a heavy tank. It is also a reference to the weaponry the vehicle carries. It takes no extra energy to use the correct terminology.
