The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
>>Suppose a self-contained piece of equipment includes something that is
>>a series of angled vanes surrounding a hub driven in a circular motion
>>by a motor (what we think of as a fan), but it also includes a thermostat
>>and perhaps a component that directs the air in one direction or another,
>>a filter, and a housing.
>>This is an air moving device.
Sounds more like a "self-contained multidirectional heating/ cooling
assembly" or something. I'll bet they could get a PREMIUM price for that!
In any case, the complaint was not about accurately describing something in
the simplest possible terms, it was about calling a fan an Air Moving
Device. Capital letters, acronym, and all.
