body english

In sports, the movements or signs (usually unconscious) that indicate what a player is about to do.
The pitcher's arms tensed, his shoulders rose, and his weight shifted to his right foot. His body english was signaling a fastball.

rotary engine

Contrary to popular belief, it was not "thought of by Felix Wankel when he was 17". It was developed in the late 1800's before his birth (in 1902).

Used mainly in aircraft, it essentially is a conventional piston-driven internal combustion engine, with the pistons set radially around the center crankshaft. The difference is that the whole engine block rotates around the crankshaft, rather than the pistons turning the crankshaft.
The pistonless rotary engine, as produced by Mazda, was initially designed by Felix Wankel as others describe, yes, but putting his name on all rotary engines is like saying that all watermelons are seedless.
You should do some ACTUAL research before claiming you know about the rotary engine.

English people

A nation of people that are often Stereotyped. I am here today to give the facts behind the opinion.
A. Bad teeth- Well, er, okay, this one's true.
B. Overweight- Er, well, I guess this one's true too.
E. Posh accents- I personally have a posh accent, as I come from Oxford :) But there's many other accents; such as Cockney Geordie and Brummie.
F. Swear a lot- I don't know what the fuckinghell you're talking about!
G. Bad on Xbox live- Well, not a lot of English men or women even go on Xbox live. It's normally teens or children, who have not yet matured. It's kinda unfair to base the whole of England from these people, that all the English hate too.
H. Rude- Well, we're more sarcastic than rude.
I. Hate Americans- Actually, this one's not true. Most English people love the Americans, and it's just the small majority that go around on Xbox live slagging off the Americans. But they're not even considered as English people, they have their own race called 'chav'
K. Drink a lot of tea- Ok, I can't deny this one.

I hope that cleared some things up for you! Have a nice day, and cheerio!
Just go watch Charlieissocoollike or Nerimon to find out what English people are really like and get off your Xbox. The chavs are not people. They are witches and should be burnt at the stake.

American English

American English is a language that has so many obvious rules that almost only Americans break.
