The plural of rpm is rpm, not rpms

Just though some of you should know. Reading rpm's all the time makes my brain hurt.
1 rpm
2 rpm
5,000 rpm

Like fish, not fish's or fishes.

RPM stands for 'revolution(s) per minute'. When you say/type rpms you are saying 'revolution(s) per minutes', which makes no sense at all.

My head would explode if I tried to point out every grammar rule that is repeatedly raped every day on this board.

Wow, it bugged you that bad huh? Maybe we should tell admin to make it a censored four letter word.

:roflol:

To be honest, I understand how you feel, but you'd go nuts trying to correct every single grammar error that shows up on the forums.

That reminds me....I made a video update of my kart but never uploaded it. I suck at making vids and it took me like 3 tries because I kept screwing up or my sister came into the shop angry about something who knows.
