I find that an arrogant response John. It might depend upon which country
you did your training in. Different countries often use different terms,
especially technical ones.
I was a Flight Engineer back in the day when the crew also included a Navigator and a Wireless Operator, and to alleviate the boredom on long flights I used to chat with the Navigator and watch him work, and he used
the term declination. The U.S., Aus., and the U.K. use different words for quite a few every day items such as the Aussie words guernsey, kerosine, axle,
and muffler, which in the U.K. would be jersey, paraffin, half shaft, and
silencer respectively.
