I hope nonGRMers wandering here understand the joke.
Because people who like things like this are going to really like this.
I couldn't love GRM the magazine or the website more, and believe me, I don't like to be the P.C police or anything or the guy who has a problem with everything, but I do have a problem with this... I find it a bit offensive that you use terms like “GMC cylinder heads" and "Jaguars" for your little Dictionaries or whatever in the discussions. I myself do not make assumptions, but I feel sensitivity for people who do, as I am a student living among them, and my Girlfriend is pursuing her masters in the field.
These terms although I'm pretty sure are not even real words, are obviously meant to resemble the facial gestures used to mimic people who spend a disproportionate amount of time pretending Jaguar knew anything about automotive engineering, and it appears that they are used on these boards in a joking sense which, as I view it, makes light of people who can argue the merits of one brand of cylinder head versus another.
