-----------snip >If one paints a vanagon starter motor pink (required content!), they've >"changed it", but not "changed it out". You've changed its color or finish, not the motor itself. ----------snip Isn't that what I just said??? I "changed" it...be it it's color, odor or taste, it has changed isn't it??? My point was that it has definitely changed, but not "changed out" So, by your definition, what do I have to do to "change" the starter motor??? Re-orient it's molecular structure. If I alter an object to a state that it did not exist in before isn't that changing it??? Granted I've changed the color, but isn't that "changing" it??? Sorry for the off-Friday rant. ;-) |
