Just another cog in a machine.

My kid's (I use that term loosely, they're young men now) approval secured.

Thank you very much!

Aside from slang creation and usage (which will always be with us),

the worst offenders are ideologues redefining language to intentionally muddle or obscure their intent.

It can only be dealt with on a cultural level.

Old car guy stuff. (Both old guy and old car)

Just because that weird fuel thingy on the top of your engine has brass screws with flat-head screw driver slots, doesn't mean you should tighten them as much as possible.

In the image is a new "idle mixture screw" (center) smoothly machined, conical tip to allow a predictable about of fuel through a small hole when the throttle is closed.

On either side of the new screw, are the ones originally removed.
