This has become as useless as badge vs debadge threads. All should notice about posting opinion threads - loose - loose unfortunately.

Is a loose-loose situation worse than a lose-lose situation?

it's more of a Spelling Police in this case. Some are minor and some are typos, but some have me shaking my head in disbelief.

CF stick on pieces/overlays, I agree. Real/full parts made from high-quality CF are very nice.

I'll come clean. I'm one of them but I usually just scroll on by. I was an honor's English student in high school. Part of my department(s) for 22 years of my career was a/some Communication Supervisor(s) who wrote press releases and letters to employees from our District President(s). None of those ever went outside of my department(s) without me reading them first. It's a habit.
