You bring up a very good point. Since most of us are in the US we tend to forget that the audience is worldwide and international. Most of our ramblings might not make sense to someone not familiar with all of the terms and abreviations, and slang. The written word does not convey enough information all the time to include the nuances most of us take for granted especially when a non-native Engish speaker tries to read it. This is compounded by a lack of knowledge of all the proper terms by non-mechanics. I guess you just have to say we are all doing the best we can and everyone should try to remember there are people out there trying to understand this but it isn't in their native language. Typos and mispelling only add to the confusion. Once you hit "SEND" it is too late to fix it! The Americans and British are two peoples separated by a common language! If we can't understand each other it must be really hard for everyone else! Of course if anyone doesn't understand a post they can always ask for a clarifacation. Misinformation or incorrect information is usually pointed out pretty quickly.
