Steering into the skid here @dougstar

Ahem... @Z.hb71 "Zed" is an old English and the current colloquial pronunciation for the letter "Z". It is spawned from the Greek origin "Zeta".

In old Britain, "Zed" and the phonetic "Zee" were interchangeable, although "Zed" was still the dominant pronunciation considering it was the older/original version of the pronunciation. As times have progressed, "Zee" became primarily American, and the British (and other old English speaking countries) have mostly stopped interchanging "Zed" and "Zee" and now simply call it "Zed".

There are some theories that suggest Americans adopted "Zee" as a way to differentiate themselves from the English during the Revolutionary War. But there is no empirical evidence to suggest this is the case.

So rather than spitting up your alphabet soup of a name every time. You are now either Z, Zee, or Zed.

And yes, we all love you. Though some (not naming names) more than others. ;)

There's your damn lesson for the day. Class dismissed! ?:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

P.S. You're almost there! Keep tuning that beast!

I want to, just that's another thing that requires r&d. Have to mod my flywheel a little, get a decompression valve installed on the head,buy parts for my pull start shell (the one ALX gave me, it's red and billet aluminum to match the crankcase). So that's why I'm using the drill, the good thing about this drill is that, the transmission is detachable so you can buy another one. And the transmission has been making weird noises for a while, just didn't think Itd go out now
