And that term doesn't bother me, though it can be confusing for people not familiar with it.

"What's the standard transmission on the new Supra, a standard?"

"No, a standard's not even available. Their standard is an automatic, because you automatically get it, standard."

What irks the bejesus out of me is when you ask someone if they have a manual or an automatic, and they say "I have a 5-speed!" I know they mean manual, but why do they say it like that?
