Topic: suspension vs. suspension_bondage

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

suspension_bondage (~200 posts) and suspension (~6k posts) appear to mean the same thing. Suspension_bondage is more explicitly clear. Suspension is shorter. Which should be aliased into which?

I would personally alias suspension into suspension_bondage, as e.g. cars have suspension, but they more rarely have suspension bondage. And I will be waiting responses in suspension, but not in suspension bondage.

+1. Suspension is just the act of suspending, which has many different uses. There's also suspension bridges, suspension lifts, etc. Though that may be an argument to disambiguate suspension...

Was looking in history before starting a topic on exactly this. I'm looking at suspension and suspended_in_midair and wondering why one doesn't imply the other.
