If "loosen" is the opposite of "tighten", then whut is unloosen? The opposite of "untighten"?
Ergo "unloosened" = "tightened"!
Me confuseded!

Too funny! I suppose it is the same thought process for those that refer to taking something out of the freezer as "unthawing", my response is, in other words your freezing it, right? Now back to your regularly scheduled program.-Mezz

After side trackers last post, I would have to agree with you on that one LOL! If there wasn't such a time difference between AZ & here, he would be (& will be, eventually) all over it.-Mezz

If you think the U.S. rules, regulations, and restrictions are bad, just check out Canada's. Whoooeee!!!

UGH... I hear that!! I FINALLY settled an estate in Toronto took almost 3 years with all the BS in Canada that Canadians admit have no function or governmental agency to track settlement taxes that went into effect January of 2017. Canada does not like money leaving Canada and going to other countries ....what a pita for Americans! On a different matter I have no problem with Canadian Standards on mfg products.

 

[old abe]

I'm with you on the mfg standards WD. That is no problem.

Anyone want to debate "tighten up" vs. "tighten down", or "wash up" vs. "wash down", etc.?
