i had to do emi compliance tests for fcc today
and i learned something interesting
class b is more strict than class a
yes you read that right.
class b is STRICTER than class a
is america capable of doing anything sensibly?

what other things are opposite in opposite land?
yes we all know inches are stupid but at least 2 inches is bigger than 1 inch, they managed to get that right at least.

When I go clothes shopping, and buy a pair of pants...I only get one...
I park on a driveway...yet I drive on a parkway...
Need I say more???

class b is for residential use. That's probably why.
There's this whole idea that in the future you might want tougher standards (more likely than laxer standards). Then you can add an even more strict Class C (etc.) instead of having to re-designate the entire thing (with all problems that brings).

just do it properly to begin with or use numbers i guess
'slow up' and 'slow down' mean the same thing
>>943658
Google these things to find out why they are the way they are.
>>943746
For the real mindfuck:
loosen and unloosen mean the same thing
I honestly have mad respect for anyone who learns English as a 2nd language.
>>943762
unloosen is just wrong, though.
it is the same as irregardless.
never use these words.
>>943746
My head literally explodes every time I see something like this.
>>943823
No it's not. It's nothing at all like irregardless.
It's an old school emphatic construction that dates back to the 1400s. It's perfectly fine to use unloosen in any formal context.

The burns have to do with numbers of layers of flesh burned. Hence why 4th 5th and 6th degree burns are even more horrific with 6 being charred bone. You see 5th and 6th degree burns in horrible electric accidents or molten metals etc etc
>>943851
wouldn't unloosen mean tighten?
>>944117
Nope. Check the definition.
>>944120
even if i'm just being a smart-ass?
1) In the States at least I've never heard anyone use the word "unloosen" in any context. Ever.
2) Anyone that uses irregardless is just retarded. It's just one of those anal parasite words that keeps propagating despite itself. No need for ESL people to fret over it.
3) Not British so we don't refer to roads as "parkways", either. Da fuck?
4) "Slow up" is rarely if ever used over here as well.
