  Except that it doesn't, hence "cable car" (in International English).

    The point is that if you're going to pedantically correct someone, they need to be wrong. No one is wrong when they say rope.

      Nothing pedantic about being correct when someone else is wrong. Nice try though.
      • anamexis 5y ago
        Someone else wasn't wrong.

    "Seilbahn" in german. Literally translated as rope track. The material that a rope is made out of, doesn't really matter. What matters is it being built up of smaller fibers.
