A
truck or lorry is a motor vehicle for transport goods. The word
"truck" comes from the Greek "trochos", meaning
"wheel". In America, the big wheels of wagons were called
trucks. When the petrol engine-driven trucks came into fashion,
these were called "motor trucks" and the Heavy Goods Vehicle
(HGV). Lorry is a British term but is only used for the medium and
heavy types , i.e. a van, a pickup would never be regarded as a
"lorry". Other languages have loanwords based on these
terms.
Commercial Trucks in the US pay higher road
use taxes on a State level than other road vehicles, and are subject
to extensive regulation. Here are a few reasons Commercial Trucks
pay higher road use taxes: bigger and heavier than most other
vehicles, and cause more wear and tear per hour on roadways; and
trucks and their drivers are on the road for more hours per day.
Rules on use taxes differ among jurisdictions.
A
toy is an object used in play. Toys are usually associated with
children and pets, but it is not unusual for adult humans and some
non-domesticated animals to play with toys. Many items are manufactured
to serve as toys, but items produced for other purposes can also
be used as toys. A child may pick up a household item and 'fly'
it around pretending that it is an airplane, or an animal might
play with a pinecone by batting at it, chasing it, and throwing
it up in the air. Some toys are intended primarily as Collector's
items and are not to be played with.
Toys and play in general are an important
part of the process of learning about the world and growing up.
The young use toys and play to discover their identity, help their
bodies grow strong, learn cause and effect, explore relationships,
and practice skills they will need as adults. Adults use toys
and play to form and strengthen social bonds, teach the young,
remember and reinforce lessons from their own youth, exercise
their minds and bodies, practice skills they may not use every
day, and decorate their living spaces. Toys are more than simple
amusement, and they and the way they are used profoundly influence
most aspects of life.
