One kind of a tool that is used to do this is an “inserter”. You insert, implant, embed, inject, inclose, or include something on the inside of something else. You apply insulation to the outside of an electric wire. You apply grease to the outside of a shaft. You apply ointment to a wound on your skin. For some examples, you use a paintbrush to apply paint to the outside of a house or to the outside of a wall (even if that wall is inside a house or an apartment). To “apply” means to put some substance or device on the outside of something else. This article brings to mind the widespread misuse of the word “applicator” in advertising, etc. The “mistaken use” examples and the “correct usage” examples shown above appear exactly the same to me. I don’t understand – the examples under, “The correct usage for the three examples given above:” are the same as the incorrect examples at the start of this article. It looks like a case of “copy and paste” without the necessary edits. The correct usage examples are identical to the mistaken usage examples. I would prefer “apply pressure on a person” instead of “to a person.” The samples for mistaken and correct use are the same? Please clarify.
