Damn I need an American terminology book or you guys need a translator for me

What I was saying was the instructions go to the level where even someone who has never built anything would understand.
All the flair manuals say glue hinge. The ultimate 40 manual takes it that step further by saying glue hinge using pins to position it.
It even goes as far as showing how to do the crimp connections for the tail and giving tips on doubling over the line and putting cyno (ca glue)and heat shrink on after. I meant silly as in simple/basic tips
I took my trainer down the club and asked how to make the tail crimps. If all manuals were that well written, rather than 2 pages of poorly photo copied instructions, building planes and helli's would be a breeze (simple)
Have I dug myself out the hole on this one
I'm also wondering about the dictionary used on this site. If its American English or the Queens English
One more question. I have an engine test rig coming, its made of wood. They recomend fuel proofing it. I had thought about covering it in cyno (ca glue) or is there something better to use?
One of these
