THE majority of things get tightened "clockwise" (or to the right) However on say, the propane tank nozzle to the BBQ grill, or the reel to your edge / weed trimmer have the opposite thread. No **** Sherlock... Now you just confounded @Gugny even more. Faucets are righty tighty, lefty loosy... Including the hose bibb. Nobody puts the hose on with their back to the wall except @Gugny Holy carp! Now he will mandate backs to the wall like he demands people use the gay British word: whilst.

Keukasmallies Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) 6 hours ago, LeviF91 said: Hmm. I had to think about this one. I tend to use "bring" when I'm adding something to the situation, "I'm bringing potato salad to the cookout." I use "take" when I'm subtracting something from the situation, "I'm taking my leftover potato salad home from the cookout." "Bring to" vs. "take from." I wonder if there's an actual rule associated with that. Or maybe I'm wrong Part of the answer lies with the location/destination of the speaker, e.g., "Bring it with you when you come over tonight." On the other hand, "Why don't you take it with you when you go there?" Edited June 17, 2019 by Keukasmallies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keukasmallies Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 6 hours ago, Gugny said: This IS a good one. In my head, I'm saying, "I need to bring my son to work," and "I need to take my son to work." Bring feels more natural, but take doesn't sound wrong, per se. Now I'm saying, "I'm going to bring my son to lunch," and "I'm going to take my son to lunch." In this example, bring seems to imply that I'm bringing him and leaving him there; take seems to imply that he and I are going together. Nope Yep However, if you say, "I'm going to bring my son to lunch at your house.", you're correct. Further, you can say bring if you tell someone you're bringing him to work with you, but not if you're taking him to his place of work. BUT, you need to factor in that the source of these "rules" is seventy-nine years old and learned them while the earth was still cooling....

Honestly, hubby is not very simple at all - hence why he is so confusing. I suspect he thinks likewise. The wifey is a conundrum for me, sometimes it is an easy, automatic understanding to know what she is thinking. Other times, I’m just left standing there babbling to myself and saying “huh?” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) 8 hours ago, DC Tom said: "Clockwise/Counterclockwise" is nonsense, because they're axially variant terms. Right-hand rule: point the thumb of your right hand in the direction you want the screw to move. You turn the screw in the direction your fingers curl. In other words: you want to remove the hose, point your right thumb away from the faucet. The hose turns how your fingers curl in to your palm. The right-hand rule is axially invariant, and will work for any normal threading (e.g. not a lawn mower blade, which is reverse-threaded so engine torque doesn't loosen it.) Whatever happened to ‘righty tighty/lefty loosen’? ? Edited June 18, 2019 by KD in CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Righty tighty" becomes "lefty tighty" if you turn it upside down. "Right" and "left" are arbitrary terms, entirely dependent on perspective - specifically, on the perspective determined by the choice of axis. So if you choose the axis, say, with your thumb, it becomes invariant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
