  2. I was wondering about that
    Over here (UK) its always 'repro' (as in 'duction)
    but you guys seem to always use 'repo' or 'repop'
    'different countries separated by the same language' haha!

    Yeah, stuff like that bugs me, too.


    Mom taught English since it became a language, so guess what I heard at the dining table every night?

    Had a pal once that called Offenhauser,."Hossenfhepher". use to be hard to come buy but now you can buy REPO's :cool::D
     
  27. I'm partial to proper english myself - can't stand the "no caps/no spaces/text-speak" crap that permeates the web.

    However, I like to think "repop" is close enough to reproduction - seems like "popping out" a few new copies from original or remade moulds is an appropriate description of the reproduction market.

    "Repo" though? Just stupid...:D

  28. Like old Sam's rabbit dish - I like it!

    Good friend of mine has Eldebrock and Hildebrand (wheels) constantly on the brain :)

    OK. While we're having an English lesson, why do so many guys on here think "then" and "than" are interchangable words? Not even close!
