I am sure I remember you in the past getting upset over the ideas of the resistors on a PCB not all facing in the same direction...

Re: Hi-Fi Shows
I can but my argument is a person knows full well what a word means but pulls it because its spelt wrong. They obviously know what the word means so why not leave it? The Resistor ID stripe uniform business was over lack of Quality control.

Ever noticed i spell words in a Yorkshire dialect or make them sound rude on a purpose ie: i sell Genesis 'Gen-arse-is'.
You were being wrong
I was being sarcastic
Lurcher was being right
I like 'Gen-arse-is', btw...

Re: Hi-Fi Shows
It wasn't obvious that it was wrong, that is why I said "I think". I had considered that Doc might have meant edition of the system rather than addition to the system.Karnevil9 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 4:04 pmNo its the same as say pulling someone up about a spelling mistake even though its obvious to a blind man what it says..

Thank you for the support Lurcher, Shamanic and Savvy.
Anyway, as far as I know pedantry isn't against forum rules but ad hominem is.

Re: Hi-Fi Shows
I was going to ask, "And how is this any different?"
Well, in fact, it is, the direction of the resistor makes zero difference, using the wrong word is wrong. The two words in question only sound similar, their meanings are very different, as is their tense.
"The first edition of a book" and "The first addition to a book" mean very different things. "The first edition to a book" doesn’t make sense.
But it is as you say in this case its a matter of quality control.
