Mobil = Oil Company. Mobile = moves around.

I saw a comment thread on an article wherein a lot (not “alot”) of folks mentioned an oil called “Mobile 1”. I assume they meant Mobil 1.

I’ve seen the mistake the other way too. When I lived in Dallas (former home of the corporate headquarters of the Mobil Oil Company) I was sitting behind a truck belonging to a tire recycler. It had several years’ worth of a city permit sticker for a “mobil tire recycler”.

It’s like people who say/spell Cummings. Did you know that stupid people make me angry?

“Alot” , though it now reminds me of the fictional brown creature:

The nice thing about Oppo is that most people use proper grammar.

Sometimes a mistake gets through. (Which are often nicely corrected).

For the most part we have easily readable posts.

this is true. the “mobile 1” wasn’t on oppo. also, it wasn’t just one person and I didn’t feel like writing 4-5 copies of the same thing so everyone would get corrected :)

I use Mobile 1 oil in my Camero, but it needs new breaks.

I’ve always wanted to set up a little booth at a gun show w/ a sign that said “Muzzle Breaks - $10” and have a vise, cold chisel, and a BFH as my only tools. For 10 bucks, I will be happy to put as big a break in your muzzle as you’d like.

My guess is that the first customer I had would kick my ass.
