Whilst bordering on completely off-topic, all of these postings are completely hilarious - when you see how easy some folks get their knickers (jockey's ?) in a twist over "correct" usage and terminology.
To you folks "west of the atlantic" - don't take it personally. "We" 5 million scot's only live over the border from the English and have been punished for using Gaelic and traditional Scot's for a long number of years - even our National news was forced by "London" to use 'BBC English' for pronunciation, as the Scot's (language) was considered too parochial for broadcasting to errr Scot's ? (plus we were fighting them a few hundred years before they ran into overwhelming friendly fire in Boston - and we've even forgiven them - well almost).
What has this to do with classic cycling - nothing perhaps except for a plea to give this topic up, it's boring - please don't remind me about the delete key, and if you expect to get consensus on what to call that 'foo-foo' valve, well pigs may fly and those new fangled derailleurs derail.
