I keep seeing someone saying I'm getting a new 'stall' and I just cringe.
Nothing personal meant by this to anyone, just trying to educate the masses.

I like to call it a "verter" just to be snazzy when I'm typing...when I'm talking I call it a torque converter...
If you wanna get really technical, none of us should be calling our engines "motors"....correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the word motor was used to describe an electrical device, and if the powerplant in question is internally combusted, it's an "engine". Nothing wrong with a little slang though as long as one gets the point across.

Looking for a new stall? Take your PICK
How about some specs on the M6
Perhaps some information on A4's
When you're out to win, the A4 can mean the difference between SINK or SWIM.
And what about a reminder that this is a bulletin board not some prepubescent IRC chat channel!
Single letter slang is not an acceptible substitute for a word:
"B" is not "be"
"C" is not "see"
"Q" is not "question"
"R" is not "are" or "our"
"U" is not "you"
"Y" is not "why"
Additional letter(s) added does not make it less incorrect:
"ur" is not "your" or "you're"
"qs" or "q's" is not "questions"
Other Abbreviations make no sense:
"b4" is not "before"
"gr8" is not "great"
"str8" is not "straight"
"cuz" is not "because"
"ne" is not "any"
"prolly" is not "probably"
"lil" is not "little"
"congrats" admit that you've forgotten how to spell "congratulations"
Some terms are not real words at all:
"hella" is not a word!
Thank YOU for opening the door for ME to vent!

I do agree with you though. This is somewhere you should show your intellegence.
