I was watching Good Morning American and one of their new reporters
was explaining the danger of using solder in water systems.
Her pronunciation was sold 'er instead of sod 'er.
I have a "book" on hydraulic suspensions where heim joints are spelled
hymn, hime,and hyme.
A very entertaining read. To quote the author, "I know that readers of
this book will
enjoy the clarity of hydraulics it brings fourth". Now if I can only find
a book that allows
me to enjoy the clarity of hydraulics it brings third, or second, or even
first!
