Motto,
You are quite right that the term 'pickaxe' is misleading but certainly in the UK it is the normal general term for anything that even vaguely resembles a pick. Similarly I am used to the term 'mattock' being used to describe the American standard tool that has a spike at one end and a digging blade at the other. This is like the use of 'crow bar' to describe any long bar used for levering things despite all the variants having correct specific names. David
