damper, dampener, dampner

[Hohn]

Just to air a pet peeve of mine:

There's no such thing as a "dampner". It's also improper to say "dampener".

So that thing on the engine is a *vibration damper*, not dampener.

When you are adjusting your shocks, you are adjusting the "damping", not the "dampENing"

Know the difference and use appropriately.

Whoa, somebody got their wheaties peed in this morning.





I know what you mean Justin, I get frustrated with things like that all the time. My brother likes to "unloosen" bolts when he really is loosening them. Drives me crazy when I hear that, probably him also when I make it a point to correct it.

Yeah, I spent all weekend baking instead of porting and painting my manifold and turbine housing
