    I'm not talking about a universal language. I'm just talking about sorting out all the differences specifically in the English language.

    Besides, if we're really talking about a worldwide universal language, everybody knows it'll be Chinese.

    Yeah that cute.
    I was told that I was put into a walker from day one, all I would do is follow people. The old phrase- sometimes you need to run before you walk, my life story.

    Sweatervest - "Tank-Top"/Sleeveless Jumper
    Vest - Waistcoat (not to be confused with a gilet, though the difference can sometimes be more marginal)
    Undershirt (esp. coll. "wifebeater") - Singlet/Vest

    While I'm not universally fond of US nomenclature (for instance, our month/day/year order for calendar listings is fucking stupid), our names here make so much more sense. That is a vest. RoJo's garment is the same type of cut and fit, but made out the same material as a sweater. Hence... it's a sweater vest. Reasonable.

    It makes sense. Your way does not. Now stop making my brain hurt.
