Spelling people

[jetmech]

I have a feeling I'll catch a good amount of grief from everyone but I'm a college student, and a perfectionist. I'm not sure why this bothers me but just an FYI.

The word "your" indicates ownership. Therefore, it is supposed to be used in the 2nd person when reffering to something that belongs to someone.
-Example: Casey, I appreciate your advice and guidance on torque converters.

The word "you're" is a contraction of the words "you" and "are". It is also used in the 2nd person and in a completely different context than the word "your".
-Example: Steve Carrell, you're one funny mother f***er

Sorry guys, I had to post this. Go ahead, fire away

Also people, use of proper grammar and punctuation is very important. Commas save lives. Let's eat Grandpa - Let's eat, Grandpa.

Don't forget "are" and "our". We're going to work on are trucks today.

I took my 862 cylinder heads in to get the valves ground and the seats re-cut. Oh, and the deck surfaces were milled as well. Anyways, the fellow that accepted the heads when I dropped them off asked if I had the new ''Valve Seats.'' I made him repeat it twice... Then I asked him to indicate with his finger where exactly this part should be located on the head. He pointed to the machined surface where the base of the valvesprings rest. I said, ''Oh, you mean the valve springs seats/seals.'' He said... ''No, they are called valve seats man, trust me...I've been doing this for 20 years.'' Luckily at this time the actual ''Head'' expert showed up and assured me ''That guy will never touch a set of cylinder heads as long as I am employed here.''

Terminology....

Carter Key - Cotter Pin <<<< Most often confused terms ever. You hear stuff like ''Cotter Key.''

IIRC, the proper thing to do with numbers less than 10 in a sentence would be to spell them out rather than type them using the number itself i.e. one instead of 1, two instead of 2, three instead of 3...

....from the guy who has the wrong "too" in his sig (and no comma or apostorphe)....

Your sig says (God knows why): "DUDE THATS WAY TO MUCH SOUR CREAM"...it should read: "DUDE, THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH SOUR CREAM".

...oh yeah:

well if you would have been at allens shop before SAR you would understand, but nooo you were to busy

You knew who I was referring to. I also do that as an insult to the idiot Marshall Mathers.
