... that "dieselization" was an actual word?

The things we learn when we're actually working...

"dieselization"

Use it in a sentence.

With the demotion of stonewashed jeans to the weekend closets of aging accountants, the world of denim experienced a rapid dieselization.

"The water treatment plant played a significant role in steam engine operations in the pass until the 1950s, when engines were dieselized"

I'd think the steam engines went away and diesel engines installed. Not exactly the "dieselization" of steam engines. But, hey, engineers speak a different version of English.

My thoughts, too. The word makes me cringe!

I thought it was more like this: "With the success of F&F, the look of all fast car drivers underwent a dieselization to conform to media stereotypes.

But why? Wouldn't you speed shift instead?

Sometimes clarity has to be sacrificed to make a point in a way that enables salary continuation.

My dieselization has resulted in my desire to equip all cars with paddle activated firm shifting 6 speed automatics. Bite me Allison. My Asian Aisin is hawt!

Ah, the 1950s, A decade that will live in infamy in the eyes of rail fans everywhere.

No stonewashed jeans in my closet. There are a few that have been worn thin by the garage floor though. Concrete washed?

Thought you'd like that KJ..... ;)

That was clarificatory. Much less confusionary.
