on this side of the pond, we'd call that a 'fender'.


I believe he typed it on "that" side of the pond, hence making the pronunciation correct.

Our servers are in Tierra del Fuego managed by an "off-kilter" German in Russia (he says he's in Oakland, CA but we all know different) so we're being a bit presumptuous that this is indeed an "American" site on any given side of any given pond... aren't we? I mean... let's get real, once they buy all the 914's, they can call them what they wish; no? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I didn't say his terminology was incorrect; his location was pretty clear from a variety of clues...

I don't think it's presumptious at all - he would call it a wing, we would call it a fender. I believe that's what I said...

And it doesn't matter at all, except when giving a thread a title by which one hopes to communicate a thread's content.

(And if you don't want to disclose what's in the thread, why are you posting?)

There are plenty of thread titles that give no clue as to the content of the thread. Mostly I don't read those...
