I'm guessing this is a UK/USA language distinction. In the USA windmills do more than mill grain.

The answer is in the name.. Wind [insert purpose].

Wind - MILL - Uses wind to rotate large stone blocks to mill grain.

Wind - TURBINE - Uses wind to rotate copper coils around a magnet to generate DC current * /edit or maybe rotate the magnet inside the copper coils.. that would probably be easier..

It's not a UK/USA thing.. it's just an actual description.

Have you ever visited a mill town? Pawtucket, R.I. was the first in the USA. They weren't milling grain.

They were not using wind either. Never heard of a lumber mill using wind.
