Look, I might sound harsh and all, and I know there is already a topic that is pinned and stuff but I can't help but get annoyed when people get confused between break and brake. I don't mean to berate your lack of command of English and stuff but ever bother to check the meaning of what you type ?

And don't give me that thing about your mechanic uses that term so i should also use it. We are adaptive. I bet some of you are Chinese ed and are still typing here in english so it means that you can keep a separate set of vocabulary in case you are speaking to your mechanic.

Break means pecah or 'lan'

Brake are the things you use to stop the car.




Also its camber not chamber

Chamber is a type of room or small space. like a pressurized chamber where people do testing.

Camber is the inclination of your wheel.



Mods, if you think this should be closed then do so. But at least I feel contented I have let this out.

i love u bro~
nice explaination~

Gostan = Go as turn or reverse.

Let's 'post-phone' this thread and 'sea' what happens...

gostan actually has a meaning.

it is actually short for 'Go a-stern' which means go backwards as stern is the rear part of the ship.

lol...break/brake is not the only common mistakes around. Last I remember...a guy was posting 'between' while what he really meant was 'before'

Grammar correction shouldn't be limited to vehicle terms because you need to explain the problem or issue in proper for other members here to help you...

I having my lunch break now

wow....now i knew

Yes english is not like 'han yi pin yin' in mandarin, different spelling but pronounced the same doesn't mean the same at all.

Guys, if you refer to a pinned topic on the main FnF thread, we've already brought up the issue of using proper English in the forum mainly because we are typing in English.

As for Tire and Tyre, they are the same but one's in American English and the other in British. The same cannot be said for Break and Brake. However, Malaysian English originates from the British English, therefore we should be using tyre instead of tire.
