flywheel
I think it is quite stupid because it is about irrelevant thing such is a name used for some part. There are more than 6800 languages in the world and many of them have their own word for a flywheel. These are German cars. Should we use Schwungscheibe instead?
For me it is technical, as this forum is. If it is about poetry than words would be essential.
On the other hand you are bringing up wrong examples. Mentioned cars have 8 or 12 cylinders. As I said everything above 6/5 doesn't need a flywheel. Even such engines, if designed for a luxury cars, would have one, whatever you name it and additional one at the front in order to smooth torque.

flywheel=SCHWUNGRAD
flex plate=MITNEHMERSCHEIBE
this are the actual names from ETKA, personally don,t have any idea about languages but these days with google anybody can pretend to be a genius.
so still the fact remains the same, totally different parts.
does a generator and alternator should be call the same?, do they both generate electricity?

There you are right.
Alternator is a generator. Three phase generator. Same as big ones in power plants. Only edition is rectifier.
... does a generator and alternator should be call the same?, do they both generate electricity?

power plants
on a car with generator the headlights dim when the engine slows to idle speed, same as a bicycle dynamo.
if alternators were the same, with all the electrical systems in the cars today would be impossible to have low idle running engines.
just because both generate a/c current does not mean they are or should be call the same.
same thing with flywheels and flex plates.
