I love it, and it's applicable to so many things here on the boards, expect to see it more. But I will say I learned something new today, the proper use of -er.

Originally posted by Treasure Chest View PostFrom a linguistic standpoint, they're both correct. It's personal preference, comparable to using 'quieter' or 'more quiet.' Both are correct, but it's a matter of preference, as disyllabic words can fall under the exception based upon the ending of the word. With the emphasis on the second syllable, in the case of alert, the proper superlative is 'more alert.' "Ambitious" is trisyllabic, so that example is incorrect.

I'm convinced that you actually get stupider as your post count rises.Originally posted by purple 5.OH View PostI'm still on here, had other pics up but my licence was showing so I took them down. The spelling is because of my phone. I will have more pics of the car up soon. I'm looking to buy a decent cam soon with heads rockers push rods and upper and lower intake. Any good ideas of what to buy?
