Humor didn't come through-- I have had an extremely stressful and angry day, so my apologies for biting your head off. Linguistics is one of my pet interests and I (sadly) forget that not everyone is as intrigued by it as I am. I did want to point out though, (as Ryedan touched on) that language has absolutely nothing to do with logic. Words are defined solely by their usage by native speakers, and definitions are not assigned-- they are observed and reported. Language is, and always has been, fluid. Which is why I love languages and studying them so much.
None of which is to say that your feelings about any word or word-usage are invalid, just that you'll spend less time being annoyed if you come to accept that. At any rate, sorry for the OT. I'm going to bed and hoping for a better day tomorrow...
Oh, that's cool dude, I was't my self, offended. i have a minor appreciation of linguistics, as you might guess from my rambling verbosity. Tolkien ruined any possible "love" of it though, for me.
And I wasn't so much saying Logic governed linguistics,nas saying Logic SHOULD govern Linguistics more, in order to improve efficiency of communication.
Good luck and hope you have that better day.
I thought I already covered that ...
And thank TCM for threads like this on slow days. Otherwise I'd be in the classifieds spending money I don't have on equipment I don't need.

I see now that you did, my eyes must have glassed over by the time I read your post.

Now you're getting into the spirit of this thread
I try to be amusing about things, but I guess I just don't meet AzPlumbers's high standards.

Okay, so maybe I was a little harsh yesterday
Today is a new day and I feel like I should contribute to the thread. Analog doesn't bother me near as much as dripper/dripping. Every time I hear one of these I just have to 8-oOh I see you're a Dripper
Is that a Dripper you have
Do you mind if I take a look at your Dripper
I get good flavor from my Dripper
Hey what are you Dripping
The non users must think we are
These kids today have no idea that only two years ago we were dripping into 510 atomizers. I pulled one out to show a kid the other day and he couldn't believe we used something that small. Yep. Dripping into a 510. Messy, but delicious. I constantly reeked of butterscotch.
I was talking with a vape shop owner that just opened and he had know idea what a 510 atty was
This may in fact be the secret to a happy life that everyone is searching for... but so few ever realize it!

ROFL... down here, everything brown and fizzy is "coke"..no matter what it really is. But after living in Michigan for 5 yrs, I called all the fizzy stuff "pop" -- when I moved back home, and once referred to "soda" as "pop" in my mom's presence... she gets all freaked and says "will you stop talking yankee?!?!?!?" ROFL!!!!

Lol whats worse is that my name entirely to close to voop and that was not entended lol
Here in this part of Texas also. Everything brown and fizzy is a coke - used almost as a generic term.
"What kinda coke you want Earl?"
"A Dr Pepper"
Tickles me every time I hear it.
I did that "pretend" thing a lot, this 2nd time of getting back off the cigarettes... I'd say, well I want a cigarette, but I think I'll just go outside and have a pretend cigarette instead"... my husband found it amusing, especially since he was all in favor of me getting back off the real ones!!

EDIT: HOORAY! I just noticed from my banner that for my 2nd go-round, I've hit a carton, UNSMOKED! YIPPEE!!!
Hey, man, I loves me some meat fat. My heart hates me, though. When I get my ribeye, it's mid rare, and I ask for the fattiest one possible. And I even eat that fat. It's delicious!! I also love pork rinds.
Yeah, this 125 lb guy typing these words... I'll never die from obesity. My metabolism is just too fast. I will most likely die of a massive coronary attack.
I was always that way about fat, too... and still am, about bacon fat. But my gallbladder apparently objected to my "Mrs Sprat" regimen, and now I can't digest cholesterol at all. So no beef fat, and no eggs. Yeah, I'm ......, but not much I can do about it. Except avoid fatty beef, and eggs.
Thank god for "the other white meat" containing very little if any cholesterol, so I can still slurp some bacon fat.
(and I'm not fat either, at 135 lbs... but decidedly out of shape -- hey I'm a 53 yr old housewife, I think I'm entitled. )Andria

OK, so what is YOUR preferred term for {REDACTED} when you {REDACTED} E-fluid onto a Mech {REDACTED} by {REDACTED}?
