You claimed there were something like “real English”, though.  But all
references show that there is no “real English”, only the English language,
with a lot of variants and dialects, like almost any other natural language.

And in those variants of English where “crank” has approximately the meaning
you think it has, it also has the meaning in which I/we use the term here,
with the mentioned synonyms.

You should have that treated.
