Since you and Jonno said the same thing, I'll reply to you.Originally Posted by NikkiD
The above is true, I have often said that I would not be so pedantic IRL because a punch in the mouth often offends. Saying machine thread on a building site would be fine by me as it would not cause me, or anyone, to misunderstand, cause I'd be on a building site.
However, the correct term is machined thread - because it is machined. There is no disputing that. Anyone who does is wrong.
Now if in the first place Jonno had said machined thread, it would have been clear (to me) that he was talking about a bolt and not a message board thread about machines. I was merely pointing out a way of clearing up any future misunderstandings before they happen, as is my wont.
Granted, if I'd not been pwned earlier I wouldn't have said anything
Now respect my grammar authoritah!
