Living in Norway does not make Franklin an English terminology
expert.

But it makes him the closest thing to the English speaking Noeweigen
I know. And I trust him more than I trust you, Mark.

Says a living dead has been in-line skater who gushes lies whenever
someone contradicts him.

I doubt it....I asked a Korean, and he had no idea what vice
grips were. I'll try and Indian next while he is sitting next to
me. And I'll try someone from China while I'm at it.

Something tangible would be better.

It's as tangible

It isn't the slightest bit tangible.

Since the English written internet is still largely a North
American thing, especially in Usenet,

I meet many people from various places... United Kingdom, Canada,
France, Australia, Asia, and others.

You meet?

Yeah, it's ordinary English.

Typically ambiguous from you.

Only if you enjoy confusing things and gushing lies whenever someone
contradicts you.

Discussions (or arguing in
your case) with someone through your terminal doesn't constitute
meeting with someone in my book.

Sounds like a personal problem to me, and has nothing to do with this
context.

you will get a lot of hits for vice grips

It already happened.

since it is an American colloquialism. Norwegian posts in English
probably don't even rate a mention in in your results

Says who?

Snipped the typical non-response

and therefore your data doesn't support your opinion.

Much more so than pretending to ask a Chinaman.

Your data supports your argument about as well as your A-cup bra
supports your D-cup man-boobs.

From looking at your pictures, you must be looking in a mirror, or
looking at your dad.

Not me I'm quite trim these days.

The question was whether someone who claims a good understanding
of English terminology should know what "vice grips" are.

(Nice work on leaving your comment in and snipping my retort.) I'll
respond again.....I would suggest it is a moot point.

That is better than your usual endless gushing of lies whenever
someone contradicts you, but you haven't had the last word yet.
