Here in Argentina, perhaps 40 years ago, my father took me to a car restoration workshop where two metal sheet workers ("chapistas") were forming a 1936 Chevrolet coupé roof by heating a steel sheet in the floor with a torch and curving it up by cooling it with damp cloth. That's also a technique to remove dents. An English Wheel was used for the smaller radius parts.

Recognizing irony is not the strongest of your skills, isn't it?

However, 3/4 of adults who do have children also dislikes them and are not happy at all.

Saddly the opposite is much more complicated.

In spanish "Voltage" (i.e. voltaje) is "tensión" (tension) or "diferencia de potencial" (potential difference). A problem here is that "tension" communicates a concept, but "voltage" communicates nothing, it's only a derivation of the unit used, or perhaps something to do with Alessandro Volta, a gentleman most students these days hadn't the pleasure to meet.

A simmilar problem in spanish was "amperaje" (amperage) which is not much heard any more except very colloquially among electricians; the standard term is "corriente" (current).

However, the units and letters are somewhat confusing for the students:

V(oltage) = E(lectric field?), unit is Volt, is refered as tension of potential differece. A(mp) = I(ntensity), unit is Ampere, is refered as corriente. P(ower), unit Watt, is consistent, as is refered as potencia (power).

Man, I've stopped cold turkey the ingestion of my two favourite vegetables this past year:caffeine and tobacco (after 25 and 35 years of use -and frequent abuse- respectively), because of this pandemic. Come on.
