A motley assortment of interesting (?) things
Well, My guess would be either ways it's lifting someone's weight so its called a lift!Think about "ELEVATOR", You would thank the dude who coined "LIFT"!
[pedantic] err, the lift is lifting one's weight only when it is going up. Otherwise it is just carrying it.[/pedantic]anyway, you just reminded me of an old joke: an American visiting england asks the hotel porter, "Which way to the Elevator?" The porter looks puzzled "You must mean the lift, right sir?""If I wanted a lift, I'd have said lift""Out here we call them lifts, sir""Now look here young man, We invented the elevator""Pardon me sir, but We invented the language"
