Words and Phrases I HATE!!!

[Corban_White]

Calling a generator, a motor. It's an engine. (I hear that because I work around generators and electric motors)

Actually, a generator has both an engine AND a motor.

 

[SAMI]

^ Right, but trust me, people refer to the wrong one all the time. Our receptionist still doesn't understand the difference.. And technically it's an alternator, not a motor.

 

[Corban_White]

Unless you are using the more efficient inverter technology and a DC "motor".

 

[SAMI]

Anything industrial runs an AC.. None of this DC BS.. AC generator = alternator.. Which is obviously similar to an electric motor..

DC.. funny

 

[Corban_White]

DC.. funny

 

[SAMI]

This is a really stupid arguement. I still stand by my point in my last post - large generators (ie anything not portable) do not utilize DC..

 

[Corban_White]

I'm not really arguing.......just trying to irritate you.

 

[SAMI]

Subposebly, I could care less..

Another one. Texted. That one really bothers me. When somebody says "yeah he/she texted me last night".

I'm not sure if texted is a word or not, but it shouldn't be. Text works for both present and past tense.

I'm not sure the usage of the word "text" as a verb (in any tense) is proper. If it were a proper verb, I believe "texted" would be the correct past-tense form.

The dictionary only defines "text" as a noun, so any use as a verb is slang.

Lemme see if I can get on your nerves.My A/C generators use D/C voltage for excitation.

How bout this, "my trucks got a "built" (there's one I hate) 350 "motor"(there's another) in her.

Subposebly, I could care less..

Yes, you're right. However it doesn't change the fact that I think texted sounds retarded.

"Hold Please"
"Press one for english, two for "

That's ironic. But, I guess on your end of the phone, you never have to hear that, do you.
