I'm not sure what your point was, because I never said they were interchangeable. In fact, I mentioned that one was invariably not the other, and that the object to which you refer as an engine is actually really defined as a motor, an object or device which creates motive force.

I agree that misuse of terms should not be accepted, and thus, corrected your misapplication of the terms in the context.
