Default PSA: TREAD not THREAD



Just a little rant, but it really gets to me when people talk about tire tread and spell it thread - Tires are not stitched or woven together! It is TREAD and NOT THREAD.




You can now return your to your normal day...

But shouldn't it still be spelled/written as just a plain Z although it is pronounced Zed?

Good thread. I just seached for my old posts on the forum. I am guilty of doing this. Never new there was a difference. Good thing this wasn't on my SAT test.

+1 Since the 350 was produced in Japan, it should be Zed.

haha OMG yes I KNOW!

I am just making a point that it's annoying to hear "Zed" when Z sounds so much sexier

Thank you for this thread. I am somewhat of a grammar ***** and I really can't stand the twototootherethey'retheirbreakbrakethenthan etc crap. For me it is difficult to write or type a word without thinking about the meaning of that word, so I couldn't really write "it's to hot outside" because in that instance "to" doesn't make any sense.

Don't forget the all to common "lose" vs "loose". I hate when somebody "looses" a race to that damn RSX.
