jbk240z Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 People that pronounce New Orleans like "new-or-lee-uns". People who say "crick" when it is a creek. People who say "pee-can" instead of pecan. If someone says crayfish instead of crawfish, they are not from the south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFancypants Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hmm what bugs me... so many choices... People that think "it's" is possesive and "its" means "it is"... People that write "your welcome" instead of "you're welcome"... People that don't know the difference between "their", "they're" and "there". - Greg - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbk240z Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I remember an old guy down south that used to say, "start it off". This was his way of saying to start the engine in the car/truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eec564 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I'm always confused when someone asks me to turn the air conditioner down. Printed on the startup screen for Windows 2000 is says "Based on NT Technology." NT stands for Network Technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_furious Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 People who drop 'to be' from statements; 'Needs fixed'. ...if someone doesn't talk that way, why would they write that way? Is it just laziness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I drive good. I keep a copy of this book nearby: "Basic English revisited: A student handbook" http://www.amazon.com/Basic-English-Revisited-Patrick-Sebranek/dp/0960531203/ref=pd_rhf_f_i_k2a_1/002-3244068-1762460 My English teacher waaaay back in HS made us buy it. It will answer just about any questions you have about proper use of the English language. It's very easy to use and quick to reference. It's invaluable, in my book. Some of the most common topics: It's vs Its ; vs , brother's vs brothers' vs brothers Their vs There good vs well y vs ies It also covers writing letter, essays, paragraphs, sentences.... It even makes a great coffe table book. Usually people pick it up and spend at least ten minutes laughing at how much they thought they knew, but didn't.

Administrators BRAAP Posted July 5, 2008 Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2008 Here’s a new one I’ve seen quite a bit lately that is starting to eat at me. Calling the Air Flow Meter, (AFM), of an L-jetronic EFI system a MAF!!! The AFM does not measure the MASS of the air and is a completely different animal electronically, physically and what it actually measures compared to a MAF! One measures air volume, the other measure air mass. Not interchangeable physically, NOR in terminology! 5 years ago, you rarely ever heard anyone mix those two up in discussions or in their advertisements. My guess is that the newbs are hearing EFI terms tossed around, to them seems willy nilly, and they just assume all air sensors are MAF’s!

jbk240z Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I am guilty of the above^. Calling it a MAF, now I know better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
