    You’re all wrong. Seems the next generation has decided its not foot pounds but “pounds feet”. “We use pound-feet (lb-ft) instead of foot-pounds (ft-lb) for torque because it accurately describes the physics of a rotating force. While math technically lets you multiply numbers in any order, the phrasing reflects what is being calculated: applying a pound of force perpendicular to the end of a foot-long lever.” There has to be millions of manuals  over the last 150 years that have to be corrected.  Its still foot pounds in the boathouse.   

    A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
