Hi Maurice
These are both 14mm 1/2"reach 42F slightly colder than 43F.
42F equivalent to L5, L81.
43F equivalent to L7, L85, L86.

Hopes this helps
Bob

I applaud Maurice for his correct use of English with the adjective "sparking" being used with the noun "plug".

I cringe whenever I see 'spark plug' - two nouns.
The correct modifier to the noun is an adjective, hence "sparking".

Hi Bruce
Couldn't agree more. American viewers please take note.
Also verbs are modified by adverbs, we often see "Car for sale, runs excellent"
Then don't get me started on apostrophes. Cd's (do they belong to Cd?) or on a store near me "Boater's World", for which boater does the store exist I wonder?

I agree. Incorrect English language usage is something up with which we should not put.

Thank you Bruce that is quite a complement to someone who was rubish at English Language at school I only just scraped through GCSE, even after extra tuition, with 40% (the bare pass mark) and have always wondered if the person who marked my paper took pity on me.

Maurice.

I love this thread, but take issue with "sparking plug". Yes that describes what the plug does, but certainly a name of an object can be two nouns. Pipe Wrench for example. Thus a compound noun is ok and so is Spark Plug.
Just defending the American language'

Also, what do we call this "sparking plug" when the engine is not running, because obviously the plug is not sparking?

Perhaps we ought to call it a "plug that can make sparks"!

Mike, I may be mistaken, but I thought you ex-colonials purported to speak English the same as us Brits!

And Tony and any others with dyslexic fingers, try typing your posts in Word, use the spell checker to correct, then copy and paste into the forum………….very easy!

Peter,

"Mike, I may be mistaken, but I thought you ex-colonials purported to speak English the same as us Brits!"

Perhaps had Britain managed its colonies properly, you wouldn't have this problem.

Peter,
In MSWord under 'Tools' you will see ‘Language’ & 'Set Language' to ‘English (UK)’………………and I’m afraid you are correct re ‘spark’ & ‘plug’ ……………..to give Microsoft the benefit-of-the-doubt it could be that it’s just seeing two nouns correctly spelt, however the grammar check has reverted (erroneously) (note the adverb after the verb) to American English in not identifying the adjective form from the noun ‘spark’ as the modifier to the noun 'plug'.

And by the way, your whole sentence has a green squiggly line under it in my checker………………. so there!

I would have suggested moving this to Technical, but the thread seems to have become more appropriate to its current location now....
BTT.... Any champions for Champion or lobbyers for Lodge, or do they all spark as well as one another?

So much easier in French - for once "bougie" but then sex comes into it as it is feminine "la bougie" but it does light your fire!

Happy sparking
