One of my least favorites, from a Diesel Power article..."Twin Sequential Turbos"...first of all they are different, so they are not twin, they are dual. Even dual in unnecessary...since in order to be sequential you must have at least two turbos.

JK! You are preaching to the choir buddy. There are so many typical mispellings or misused homonyms that just drive me nutz!

If a sailor is one who sails...is a trailor one who trails?

That worked out pretty good, your post in between my quote!

Naw, this is a recurring theme. About once a year someone brings it up. I think it's a byproduct of the texting craze...people just expect everyone else to decipher the code or read ebonics.

Besides, this is a flame free forum (almost).
