[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 5083243, member: 15538"] There always synonyms that [i]can[/i] be used. I can call something an air suction floor cleaner, or a zoomeroo, but guess what? No one does. We call it a vacuum cleaner. Hoover had a case because people were already calling the things electric carpet sweepers, vacuum cleaners, electric suction devices, and so forth. But Army Builder? Look on the web site and see if you can find a place where Army Builder it is a ___. It is described as a "tool" and it is used for "army construction" according to the website. Somehow, I don't think "army tool" is sufficiently descriptive, and "army constructor" is an odd neologism. "Army construction tool" is, I'm going to say, a burdensome phrase. "Army list calculator" is the closet thing I can find to a useful synonym, and that doesn't convey the idea that it stores data used in the calculations. Army Builder is an army builder. [/QUOTE]
