I'm surprised how many people keep braking their breaks here.
Of coarse, there reason for having problems are specific to they're own car.
Butt you'd think everyone would have a Service Manual for referring too buy now.

Fierosound, that is "Sir-Vice Manuel"......And I am know taking a brake from working on ma breaks.....But I can't stop with-out them.

I used to be very arrogant in my belief of "English" superiority until my Thai girlfriend said she was "Com-FORT-able"....Then I started realizing that English is a very bizarre mix of other languages.

I was thinking it would be interesting to rank languages by efficiency of transfer of information. Google, of course, lists lots of information, observations and studies including the following, which may be valid...

Which is the most efficient language?
In a recent study which examined 7 widely spoken languages (English, French, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Mandarin, and German), English came out on top as the most economical of the surveyed languages with the highest information density rate.May 9, 2017

One would presume only properly organized, punctuated, spelled and grammatically correct samples would be compared.
Misspeaking, mishearing, miswriting and misreading are prevalent sources of miscommunication and conflicts.
Ya get where I'm comin' from?
