If anyone needs me, I’ll be in hiding until this blows over.

I am curious how you can consider the 787B a failure after making history as the first (and only) Japanese AND rotary car to win LeMans.

Duck
in
cover, or duck

cover? I always assumed the latter and I’m wondering if you have some information.

*I see you have edited and changed the picture to be appropriate. Still an idiot.
Bwahahahaha
Don’t troll the FP they get all worked up.

It had a 4.7% success rate.

I am sure it was completely justified since Jezebel commentators are completely not insane.
I can’t go on Jezebel, all I want to do when I go on there and troll. Last time I went on there someone was saying their six year old was in therapy for anxiety. I barely had the strength to control myself.

It won the only thing that matters in endurance racing. That’s not failing.

I can at least see your reasoning for suggesting that. IF the rotary was so successful, wouldn’t it still be in use today?

I love how over half of the replies are people just calling you out on posting the wrong picture. If people would just read the thread they would have seen that the picture was edited. I guess that’s asking too much for a FP thread.

Duck *in* cover would qualify as a true form
eggcorn
malapropism, I believe. Homophonically similar, lucid and similar meaning, but still a malapropism.

Not for everyone. I’ve been successful there at getting a few people to de-troll. It’s when you troll back that it goes to Hell in a handbasket.

I’m trained as an engineer. B.S.M.E., Georgia Tech, to be more specific. That being said, despite being past my Engineering Intern/Fundamentals of Engineering exam, I’m not currently working on my PE - instead just drawing sheet metal and other parts, and conducting the occasional technical writing/etc.
All that aside, I’ve been an avid reader since just before I was five, and I have a strong bent in that direction. My SAT (old system) was 700 math/800 verbal, which isn’t the engineering norm.

One might assume that, as an educator, I would know whether 700/800 was low or high for an SAT score. I don’t. I think I might qualify as a fairly serious novice grammarian, though that would put me on an 8-foot ladder above much of the population. I love smithing words, having more of a sense of what sounds right than of what the actual rules are.
I began school with the intent of studying ME. I found the other students to be very competitive, not to mention that the local universities were severely impacted in the ME programs. So I studied math instead. A path of zero resistance. And of limited professional opportunity. I ultimately entered teaching, which is what I was cut out to do.

The SAT has up to 800 points per topic. Since I took it, they rolled in an essay section, raising the “total” from 1600 to 2400, but not the amount score-able per topic. Points are taken off for incorrect answers, while merely unanswered questions are just not added to the total, making an incentive to be right instead of answering blindly. There’s a several question allowance, though. 800 English score was all questions answered, one or two wrong - the “perfect” score without actually being perfect. 700 in math is a bit more of a fumble - more wrong answers there - but still among the higher percentiles.
One of my greatest joys was studying German as a minor, as it opened up a lot of horizons etymologically. It’s revelatory to suddenly realize what words you’ve been using since childhood actually mean, sometimes. Between German and reading a lot of early 20th-cen British work, though, my own writing and speaking gets weird from time to time.

I lived in Germany for 4 years as a soldier from 86 to 90. Learning some German also shed some light on the culture and personality of the German. Imagine how it must be to learn an eastern language?
So were those essentially perfect scores, then?

I’ve spent some time in South Korea, not as much as you spent in Germany by a long shot, though. Not military, either - family connections. I know Korean culture better than I know the language - I’ve only got stray words and phrases.
The 800 was a “perfect” score. The 700 was just good, not exceptional.

Are you British? Your screen name suggests as much.

Nope, born in western NC, parents of mostly southern extraction. I have what one might call a very lightly southernized PBS accent, I’ve watched a lot of British TV in my time, and my family has a small herd of 60s Land Rovers. Slightly redneck technically-minded well-educated conservative-leaning Anglophile, that’s me.

Chatting with you is stimulating. What year did you graduate from high school? I was class of ‘82.

2004, nominally. I was homeschooled (herein meaning largely self-taught) with a good crop of college level courses during high school in the mix, and pretty much finished up by the end of ‘03, going to college fall ‘04. I’ve got a math teacher aunt, but that was a topic I had to get into mostly on my own - not my mom’s forte. Some math genes in the family, but formalized study my first year of college with calc was a bit tricky - different ways to learn things, as I’m sure you know, and those classes are the weed-out ones at GT.
