Not forgetting the Celts and the Scots and Welsh.
I agree with you i have always known the shafts in and "Axle" to be half Shafts and the shafts on a FWD vehicle or independent axle as "Drive shafts"
There have been various upgrades to Half Shafts over the years and many axles. (BMC and Fords for example) There are a few companies in the UK that will make you custom drive shafts of stronger materiel, i have not long bought a pair of Drive shafts from Berrisford so they might be worth a call, but just google for more.
