Do you actually enjoy writing this sort of stuff?  Now that type of
personality would make an interesting study.

I guess the assumption here is that a more sophisticated command of the
English language would contribute greatly to being a mechanic.  It's really
odd; some people seem to believe that the purpose of language is to
communicate rather than pontificate.  Each to his (or her) own.

Be careful.  People on high horses have further to fall.

Enough of this serious stuff.
