I started a thread on this some time ago, but the thread was deleted presumably because of one or two offensive posts in it. I will start the same thread again.

And these were the replies in the original thread.
Hi Jane;
Personally, I can't see why it is called either. Sometimes you go down, an action not described by either name.
We are not tiresome, we just seem that way.
I've always called it a lift. Except for when I was in America... Wow, that's strange. But in this case I agree with bobby.
Hi all;
You can never go wrong agreeing with bobbym.
An Englishman walks into a bar. "Oh my goodness, how silly of me. Wonder why I didn't see that bar there? Perfectly obvious bar. Oh well ... never mind ..." (passes out)

Thanks for restoring the thread Jane... seems quite uncharacteristic for a whole thread to be deleted like that...
@ bobbym:
"Personally, I can't see why it is called either. Sometimes you go down, an action not described by the name."
Nor is that described by "elevator"

Thanks, Identity.
I have sent an email to MathsIsFun demanding an explanation for that outrageous action.

Hi identity;
That is what I was saying, neither name is accurate and should be replaced by uppie-downie.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
