wikipedia is clear on that but if you look at "swing bridge" at 
google images there is a lot of people who confuse it, also
native english speakers apparently.

Obviously bridge=swing has a huge confusion potential so looking
for better alternatives.

My idea was 
* abandon bridge=swing in favor of bridge=movable which could provide 
  subtyping if someone really needed it.
* introduce bridge=suspension bridge=simple_suspension
