Rewording to differentiate between longitudinal (forward/backwards) and lateral (left/right) motion.

@chfriedrich98 I'm back from holiday - hope you had a good Xmas/New year time. Let me know your thoughts on this.

@hamishwillee Welcome back, hope you had a nice holiday!
I was just googling the complement for "lateral speed" and came across "longitudinal speed", but if that is not a common word I agree with changing it back to make it easier to understand. (I wasn't aware of that word either before looking it up :) )

@hamishwillee Welcome back, hope you had a nice holiday!

I did thanks! Looking out the window on a sunny day and wishing I was allowed out of my box :-(

It's not that it is uncommon as unsual in this context. If I give someone an RC controller, I would tell them to drive forwards or backwards, left or right. I wouldn't tell them to drive longitudinally. However I would use lateral to differentiate a left right movement from a left/right turn (as in an FW).

I would use longitudinal to describe an axis of something like a box that had no obvious front.

So this is a matter of what will require zero thinking for the user.

Thanks for the changes. Merging as all good.
