I want your opinion. I am accused of being a "picker" for the following reason:
D=daughter, H=me, W=wife
W to D. The new high definition(HD)TV's have a problem with "screen burn in", (the logo on some networks makes a permanent image on the screen).
H to W&D. Its not the HD that is the problen, HD is a higher quality broadcast method. The problem is with the type of TV screen. The older glass picture tubes (CRT) are not as prone to "burn in" as the newer rear projection screens. That was written in the booklet that came with the new 50" TV we bought in June.
W to H. Pick, Pick, Pick.
H to W. I was not trying to pick. I realise you might think that and I did not mean it that way. I just want you to both know that it is the type of TV screen, not the the broadcast method that causes "burn in". It is like hearing you talk about putting gas in a diesel engined truck. I know you mean diesel fuel but the two fuels are very different.
Or a customer calling and asking me to repair their copier and when I get there they show me a non functioning laser printer. I took parts with me on the service call for their copier but no parts for their laser printer. So now I have to go back to the shop for laser printer parts.
I want you to tell me if my zipped is down when I walk out of the bedroom.
So FF, how bad did I do or what's wrong with the way I think? The world is getting more complicated every year and I know keeping up with the terminology takes a lot of work. My intention was to help my W keep up and use the correct terms. Am I starting to sound like your H?
Daughter corrected me a while ago when I reas a sign said "Chicken Carbon?" D said that is pronounced like "Chicken Car Bone." I said thank you, I like people to understand what I am talking about and do not like to sound uneducated when I talk to people.
HairDog: I am not a lawyer, but too many people say one thing and really think they are saying something else. They think you should know what they really meant to say. I guess that you run into this frequently.
OG Lou I do not want fancy wording, plain is good enough as long as it describes the issue at hand.
