The car is named after a Spanish bull you fucking idiots! Get the pronunciation right! It's pronounced "ga-yar-do".

Allah, I swear, American English speakers almost always completely mangle foreign pronunciations.

To me it's England is right not britain, because we invented the language. It's called English. The rest of the world isn't wrong it just sounds wrong to me.

Pot.
Kettle.

"OK brand new guy already attempting parody threads???"

First, it was parody in title only, it was a serious thread. I really did get a speaker cable that was out of phase. When you spend $50.00 on a Monster cable you expect to get a cable that is wired correctly. I pretty clearly explained that it was an actual problem and not just a parody, or at least I thought I did. Anyway, mr mod's phrase above that I quoted is an incorrect phrase that annoys me. 🙄

If you're wondering what I'm on about, just look for my thread that was locked earlier today....
