[ARC5] Some nonsense about drifts and the English language. (Was bearings for DM-28 dynamotors)

[Bill Cromwell]

In my hands that "podging tool" might become a "bodging tool"...

Somebody added to this thread a comment about most of us (most of the 
time) being clear enough. There is a word most people know- "oops". That 
word isn't in the dictionary because of the time or two (maybe more) 
when *I* got it wrong. When I see something that doesn't fit I can 
usually interpret from context. If it's especially bad or not 
decipherable I can just ask.
