Question Tirón y jalón

Tirón y jalón son sinónimos, pero el primero se usa más en España y el segundo en las Islas Canarias y en América.

En el ejemplo de un aparato indicador:

Se trata de un pequeño tirón de la aguja indicadora...
Se trata de un pequeño jalón de la aguja indicadora...

¿Cuál sería lo más adecuado para la gente de toda Hispano-América?

Para Chile, las dos están bien y se usan, yo diría, por igual.

Creo que 'jalón' se usa más en México y en centroamérica, 'tirón'. Pero puede que no.

En México se usa "jalón", pero "tirón" se entiende perfectamente. Aquí hay quienes creen que "tirón" es más educado y por eso no lo dicen.
