Structural part names

[CaptainKipard]

This is a small peeve, but it's like an annoying little midge every time I search google for gameplay tips/solutions and mods.

Squad please learn the difference between Struts, Trusses, and Girders. You got 5 out of the 9 relevant parts wrong. It's even worse when KSP players start repeating these mistakes.

The EAS-4 Strut Connector is named correctly. But this is the only real strut in the game. A strut afterall is just a rod that supports a larger structure.

The Cubic Octagonal Strut is not a strut. It has struts, but it's a truss... a really really short truss.

The Modular Girder Adapter, Modular Girder Segment and Modular Girder Segment XL are not girders. They are also trusses.

The Octagonal strut is not a strut, and if you've noticed the pattern then you'll know it's a truss.

The three I-beams are actually named correctly but if the name "girder" applies anywhere then it applies to these.

That's all. It'd only take a minute and it would reduce the amount of time people waste on google by two thirds.
