Yesterday, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The answers from the question were totaled up at midnight Central time, and compiled into a graph. On posts with multiple answers, (i.e. "B or A"), only the first answer was counted. This graph answers the question once and for all: Is it a hand truck, is it a dolly, or is it called something else?

The answer, by a slim margin, is Hand Truck !

(If you're wondering who said "corpse mover", it was Nibby.)

I would be curious to see a regional breakdown of "Hand truck" vs. "Dolly", but that data wasn't available at the time.

I'd probably translate it to sack barrow or sack truck if I was to describe it in English.. It's called a Sekketralle in Norway, and that translates more or less to sack truck.

Isn't this a dolly? I've never heard a hand truck described as a dolly before.

In France it's called a "diable" which translates to "devil" !

I missed the quiz, it would be interesting to see where the votes lie regionally.

Yes that is a dolly. I've never called a hand truck a dolly and frankly I haven't heard that before.
