You don't go to Xerox something. You go to photocopy something.

It's not plexiglass, it's acrylic.
License is not plural.
Cars have engines, not motors.

Quote:Cars have engines, not motors.What about General Motors? They make cars, which have engines. So that really doesn't fit into GM's bill, huh?

Yeah, the motor one is more of a pet peeve than actually being incorrect. Or is it just semantics? IMO, motors are electric and engines use combustion.

but motor boats are combustion, right? There might be a large and broader definition of motor than just electric.
- Kid Afrika - 05-20-2003
There is. I admitted I was wrong and it's just a pet peeve. Btw, IMO means "in my opinion".
A motor is, by definition, anything that turns energy into motion. So, again, I'm wrong. Happy?

"Supposably" is not a word. It's "supposedly".
I also hate "especially" when people say "eXpecially"
