Re: Who knew

But, hey, engineers speak a different version of English.Ashley Armstrong wrote:"The water treatment plant played a significant role in steam engine operations in the pass until the 1950s, when engines were dieselized"

I thought it was more like this: "With the success of F&F, the look of all fast car drivers underwent a dieselization to conform to media stereotypes.

No stonewashed jeans in my closet. There are a few that have been worn thin by the garage floor though. Concrete washed?Steve Ekstrand wrote:With the demotion of stonewashed jeans to the weekend closets of aging accountants, the world of denim experienced a rapid dieselization.
