We have a new to us welder. And it's so very weird what he writes out and what he abbreviates. In an industry where measurements are MUCH more important than verbiage he uses the digit 2 for 'to' and 4 for 'for'. This becomes a bitch when he uses a reducing bushing. (2" 2 1-1/2" red bush). He also uses "-n- instead of the word and. grinding-n-weld, mount-n-bolt. We laugh and cringe.

And then I have another one who cannot spell so gives us "lights-n-plate" for licence plate light.

Have I mentioned what a hellish week it's been? HI HOWAREYA?
