First on Peter for thinking that everyone would understand what "offside wheel" would mean (even though I do believe CRC >did<, in fact, understand it) and I certainly figured it out from context within under a second. Offset by CRC demanding it be changed because, for lack of a better argument, we should all speak properly because we're on the Internet. Replay the down!

English will be a poorer, more sterile mindspace as these idioms die off. Points as well to CRC (who is merely restless, I think, and having at physwall reflexively as a grizzly will sharpen its claws upon the bark of a fir) for characteristically entertaining cussedness, and particularly for please don't try to claim that your weird backwaters-of-a-dead-Empire dialect is "normal" usage, which I expect to see in due course in six-point Verdana at the foot of my screen. We now return you to our normal programming. cordially, Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.

Post #210,453 by drewk 6/8/05 12:20:09 PM Reply	Oh, and by the way ... Does it really make a nit's worth of difference which wheel it was? I mean really, we're describing -- in print -- the machanical sound once made by a car the current writer's SWMBO no longer owns; a sound they never identified the cause of; a sound which most likely had nothing to do with which side it was on anyway.
