RPM rant
Why do so many people say RPMs ? Revolutions Per Minutes makes no sense ! We are supposed to be car people, get it right ! Or maybe I should switch to decaf.

I must not pay attention, I have not noticed that.
If the s does bother you though,it may be a sign if too much caffeine.:D |
:iagree:
How 'bout R'sBI? |

Have I mentioned before that I like pie? Mmmmm.... pie.

Does "irregardless", or "very bizzare", bother anyone?
How about, "I can't here you", or "good company, I like there products". Seeing things like that, always annoys the heck outta me. |
rainy days and mondays always get me down

I understand, and as a car guy I try to use the proper terms. I gave up trying to coach folks with the right terms a long time ago, and it's not worth worring about:thumbs:
On CF forum there is a large mix between enthusiasts vs owners, some who can pull an engine, while others can't pull a spark plug. When you have that wide of a knowledge gap it gets interesting. In the end, I try to be as helpful as I can no matter the terms or skill level a person has. We don't want to hijack a thread of someone who needs help or has a question because they use the wrong terms or spelling. ....and FWIW, auto correct and fat fingers don't help either:thumbs: |

How about Heads Up Display. For those of us who have more than one head.
