New Parts Source!

I ran across this interesting link and had to pass it on.

Read closely before ordering unless you've got your "sign" handy.

My favorite one lately was when I was removing the final parts from a
miata, I even chopped off the windshield header. The question was asked,
"Are you taking that car apart"?

This is a vehicle that literally has the gas tank, the front subframe
brace, and nothing else, inside or outside, that can not be removed.

It really couldn't look any more stripped down and ready to haul to the
scrapyard, other than not being visibly wrecked because the frame
twisting is all underneath the car at the front.

The answer, of course, is "no, removing every piece from a car is how
you put them together, not how you take them apart, and please don't
forget your sticker on the way out". :-)

But Pat? You are having a problem with linguistics, I think. A language
construct should never be taken literally like a mathematical statement.
It is simply wrong to think that "Are you taking that car apart" has the
mathematical meaning "Are you taking that car apart, yes or no?" It means
"Tell me more about why you are taking that car apart, please," and
is from a linguistic point of view a perfectly correct, polite, and
reasonable question, given the circumstances.

It is important to understand that language is not mathematics, that it
requires the perceptive interpretation of the listener, taking into
account context, rather than a blind interpretation of the common meaning
of the individual words.

Leon, can I move in with you and borrow your new MX-5 from time to time?
I don't eat a lot and I can swing about $250.00 ABP. I can't do any more
than $50.00 for a deposit.
I think that we would have very enlightening conversations.

You would be my Sensei. I could learn rocket science, how to be less
naive about people, and there would be much improvement to my linguistics.

In return, I will teach you all about quail hunting. ;-)

Deal?

Pat (I gotta admit, that was a pretty good post by Leon)

i appreciate your point, but i always felt that the person trying to
communicate, the person speaking that is, is responsible for the clear
interpretation of their thought. that person should choose words that
precisely convey his thought. otherwise they are subject to
misinterpretation as you suggest is going on here.... politicians come to
mind as masters of ambiguity to placate all listeners.

You are right, I too would like to see the forces of logic and common
sense to win out. But in language, the majority seems to rule.
