Now now. I reiterate, when we speak to newcomers, they don't always realize when we're kidding. Suppose one of us had never driven a car, and someone said, jokingly, the pedal on your right is what slows it down. We're not stupid, we're just uneducated in driving cars.

That's why I feel we should just be careful. Terry is one of the nicest folks on these forums, but we tend to forget how folks might think we know what we're talking about and take a lighthearted statement of ours as the answer, the same way we might trust our silly friend who tells us, yeah, the pedal on the right slows it down.

(At least in the US, the pedal on the right in an automatic shift car is the accelarator, which makes it go faster.)
