I grew up in Daytona Beach prior to the origin of NASCAR. Saw the last beach race in 1958 and the inaugural Daytona 500 at DIS in1959. During the early NASCAR days any ƒ??disagreementƒ? between drivers during the race would be resolved on-track with one driver purposely taking the ƒ??offendingƒ?driver out by crashing him. If that wasnƒ??t possible then there would be a knock down drag out fistfight between the drivers after the race with the pit crews and other bystanders joining in. All was forgotten and everyone kissed and made up before the next weekend race. But things have changed since then. I should have attended ƒ??sensitivity trainingƒ? at age 1. ?????ÿ

@mkennedy?ÿ

The guy is a jerk in the first place and hasn't learned to rake someone over the coals with swear words that do not disparage anyone or anything. And he can not engage in a physical alteration because he would get pulverized, so name calling is the last resort.

As I did not know what the R-word was, I must be an R.

Or, is that a R??ÿ I get confused about that.

I get confused about that

When the indefinite article is used before an acronym, the choice of form (a or an) depends on pronunciation, not on spelling; in other words, use?ÿa if the acronym begins with a consonant sound, and an if it begins with a vowel sound: a NATO decision (a before the consonant sound n)

@dougie?ÿ

NOW, I AM EVEN MORE CONFUSED.

The R-word is not an acronym.?ÿ It's just a regular word.?ÿ It's something you can do to the choke or the timing or something automotivical-based.?ÿ Eye are knot a mekanick.

@holy-cow?ÿ

R and word are 2 separate things; R is the acronym and word is a word.

So a decision from the EPA would be "an" EPA decision while a decision from WACC would be "a" decision from the WACC. ???? ?
