Neil, Is that a Future Liner you have as you your avatar? I saw the Ron Pratt owned machine sell for charity on Barrett-Jackson last night. It brought four million dollars, which is at least a million less than he paid for it. That is a 20% depreciation in a short period of time. Obviously not a concern for Mr. Pratt as he had graciously donated the vehicle to a great charitable cause. I wonder what it would have sold for without the charitable deduction? Possibly less? No way to value something like that in my opinion. It is worth whatever the market will bare bear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Headlamp Door...........Who out there is still running a whale oil lamp on the front of their car....don't let that flame gutter out we'll never make it home. BUT that is what they are called in the parts book. If you don't call it by THAT name..,some get bent out of shape! In this hobby I think you do have to maintain the old nomenclature to keep everyone on the same page of the book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Well you can not call it a bezel according to most popular definitions. So what did they call it on the 42 DeSoto that actually had headlamp doors??? And by the way for your non phonetic types, sudo is actually pseudo as in that old Phil Collins song Pseu, pseu, pseudio........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TodFitch Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 ...and of course there is, "sudo-intellect". Well you can not call it a bezel according to most popular definitions.

And by the way for your non phonetic types, sudo is actually pseudo as in that old Phil Collins song Pseu, pseu, pseudio........ Gee, I thought he was talking about a Unix computer guru: sudo (which I think stands for "super user do") is a command to give access to critical parts of a Unix operating system's features and configuration. For example: > sudo apt-get upgrade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldSmith Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 These days we have to "celebrate" things, and if there is a crime or tragedy, we need "closure". Maybe "Celebrate" needs "closure". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdoland Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 My biggest is...."Here is a picture of my wife and I" Drives me crazy how many times I hear this. From TV anchors to book authors. I've even seen it on this forum. I also don't like when people say,"That being said...." No crap, I just heard you say it! These are right up there with "At the end of the day" and "Ya know" I think there is too much political correctness in the world these days but that being said, at the end of the day, I'm just an infidel and proud of it. Ya know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulu Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 After moderating a few different forums over the past decade or so, I gave up on caring how people spell or write, or whether their grammar is too "contemporary", sloppy, or just plain odd. Nowadays, as long as I can understand what follks mean, I consider it a victory in communication. But at work, if some bozo brings me a tech document with misplaced parentheses or one misspelled word, I will give them a hard time about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-10 and counting... Funny to hear you say that, Tim. I worked at Motorola for many years (actually 6 different times, but that is a different story). They seldom wanted me in meetings. I called a spade a spade and it usually contridicted what they were trying to sell to the troops that day. Suited me fine. I only got invited when they really did want the truth.

BobT-47P15 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yep............I agree that the English language is misused/misspelled by many today. Some part of it must come from schools not placing as much emphasis on "grammar" as they did in my day. And, many people are in such a hurry while "keyboarding" (I think "typing" is now out of vogue)..........they cant capitalize, punctuate, or make paragraphs. Ah well..........
