This bothers me more than it should.
It should be called the decoupler pedal because that’s what it actually does.
I think its logical, thats why it isnt called the clutcher. It just controls the clutch mechanism so clutch pedal is a completely valid name.
Ok, now I'm gonna start using "clutcher"...
"unclutcher", to be accurate
Unclencher
Declutcher, but ya.
What if we compromise and name it the clutch decoupler pedal, and then everybody calls it the clutch for short?
The brake pedal also accelerates
If we're talking physics here, technically the steering wheel accelerates, too.
It's gas, breaks, clutch. They control the gas, the brakes and the clutch.
"Breaks"
I like how autoincorrect fucked you the first time, but got it right the second time. Haja
Haha yes autocomplete, that's what did it 😅
Wait until you hear people say "depress the clutch to engage the clutch pedal"
Well it would be pretty uncomfortable to always press it to drive.
Hahaha, ok, I'll give ya this one because of the community in which you posted it (and "grinds my gears")
Now look up when an electronic circuit is "open" and when it is "closed"; conventional current flow vs actual electron flow; negative voltage.
(These are not that confusing, just unexpected for someone new)

Americans cannot comprehend.
