At what point does a mistake become so common that it becomes the correct way of doing things? At what point do you stop pointing out that same error over and over and over again, and just say to hell with it, you're right.
It has become apparent to me that we are at a new threshold where now, "breaks" are a device used to reduce one's speed (just from posts I ran across today);

and "brakes" is what GSP does to your bones.

I guess I just need to adjust to the new reality. I dunno how but I have to try. It was hard enough adjusting to calling a "wheel" by it's new name, a "rim".
So I guess the outer edge of a wheel is... the rim's rim. OK, it's crazy to me but I guess I'll have to adapt.
Maybe it's not too late to save "stripped", versus "rounded".
A bolt is "stripped" when the threads shear off from overtightening. To be more specific, one can say stripped threads
When trying to remove a bolt, if the tool slips and the bolt doesn't budge, that is called a "rounded" bolt (specifically, a rounded head)
Or maybe I really should just give up?
