Snapping noise in front and rear ends

Snapping noise in front and rear ends
It would be great if everyone could construct proper sentences with perfect spelling and punctuation but many people for various reasons don't have that skill. If posters can fix cars, tractors, hydraulic systems, etc. and have advice to offer we need their contributions here. It has been a little slow around here lately and often questions go unanswered.
That said, the abbreviated abominations that "texting" has created are destroying the language!

Snapping noise in front and rear ends
[QUOTE=earthwrks;158161]KW: I understand your point about fixing things. However, can you really make a blanket statement that that is true? In other words, would you trust someone who doesn't have a firm grasp on the english language to repair something when they can't read and understand a service manual or a torque wrench?

EW, I don't trust much that I read on the internet or hear on the news if it doesn't pass the smell test  But plenty of guys that don't have your technical writing background, or maybe even a high school diploma, have spent their lives working on and around equipment.
If someone starts talking about the fetzer valve or muffler bearing you can pretty much tell their full of crap. When their words make at least a little sense then they are often worth considering.
Dueling anecdote time A close relative of mine can't spell worth beans, but he reads fine, his grammar is OK, and he has an intuitive knowledge of mechanical systems. He has a mechanical engineering degree, graduated near the top of his class, and works on some of the most advanced battlefield logistics systems in the world. He knows his spelling is bad, and nowadays always uses a spell checker, but sometimes the wrong word, correctly spelled, slips into his writing. You know how English is.

KW, your engineer-friend's poor spelling: to what do you attribute him getting a higher education? I mean how does one get around course studies without being called-out on it and have to take remedial courses?

Well, math equations don't require much in the way of spelling and grammar How hard is it to spell a+b=c?
