Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.
I thought valves were what caused my '76 Dodge to go to the boneyard and the Tubes were just White Punks On Dope.

Accents and dialects are weird. I can drive a few hours from where I live and run across people I can barely understand. Years ago I was in a barber shop in coastal South Carolina and the barbers, a bunch of older gentlemen, were talking fast to each other and I couldn't make out a single word.
I watched this documentary on the English language and it's pretty fascinating how language differences build up quickly in a few generations of people not living next door to each other. Even with mass media like radio, TV, movies, streaming, etc., the neighborhood you live in still has an overwhelming influence on your speech.

When I taught motorcycle riding I had a little class exercise.
"OK, how many of you think you should be ready for the possibility of a car going the wrong way down a one way street?" - no hands raised.
"Right, and how many of you have seen a car going the wrong way down a one way street?" - nearly every hand would go up.
"So what's the lesson?"
To be fair the the town planners though road design and layout has improved so much in the intervening 30 years or so that its not nearly as common an occurrence as it used to be.
Billy says...
’Tis but thy name that is mine enemy:
What's Montague? It is not hand nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part.
What's in a name? That which we call a tube or valve,
By any other name would smell as sweet.
Country. e.g. USA = Tube, England = Valve
That's our next thread: Do valves smell sweeter than transistors?
The comforting smell of warm valves reminds me of romantic evenings sitting by a fireplace with my love.
Who says you can't learn about Anatomy on a Bass guitar forum; If I keep reading these posts, I'll have my degree in no time.
don't want to fan the flames really
This is incredibly informative!
... or rather, 'Chestnuts roasting on a valve tube amp' - Jack Frost "picking" at the notes ...Chestnuts roasting on an open fire ...
Leave it to the Brits to clear up this ?debate; shame on us Americans
... JK of course
