a little light reading

Now I know why I like this forum , I thought rivet , rivet , rivet , was a frog inpersonation . As for the brake plate , the one on the left being right ,and the one on the right , also being right . Now I think I know why you go around saying rivet , rivet , rivet ,.. I'm sure it will turn out all right ...

Hi All

The right plate has left the building, now just to make sure that you are all secure with the knowledge that the loose plate is the right one that is for the right side and Inc is to install it on the right side.

The loose plate that I removed, was secured on the left side being the right one for the left side, so after finding out the left one was instead for the right side, the left plate meant for the right that does go on the right, is the right one and it has left my place.

So why all the confusion? It is perfectly clear that the left one that has left, is right for the right and not for the left.

Arthur, as a native English speaker, each of those words individually made perfect sense to me.

Collectively though, you lost me just after "Hi all"

Thanks Arthur ,now that you have explaned it so eloquently ,and there is no confusion , well I don't think there is , Well just a little . No quite a bit . My wife asked me ? why do you keep saying rivet ,rivet , rivet .

Just to clarify...

When hes got the left bit thats right from your left and has both bits left and right right there if he installs the former bit thats right on the right whats left is for the left and there'll be none left but if he gets the left to the right whats left wont be right and to make it right hell have to swap left to right and right to left so that the bit that was right's on the left and the bit thats left's on the right then the there'll be no bits left and both bits are right?

Did i get that right or is something left out?

That would be right but only if there is nothing left.

Rivet, rivet, rivet.
