J. Steven York RESISTSUS hardware standards are INSANE. Working on a prop for my action-figure photo comic, "Minions at Work," and I want to attach some decorative lamp finials upside down as legs for a piece of furniture. Go to store, get some screws. Easy, right? A standard 1/4" screw is 20 pitch thread. But a lamp finial is 1/4" 27 pitch, for reasons that probably made sense to Tommy Edison. Can't find screws like I want, even online.

C.<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linguistics</a> question! I have an older relative - who would have grown up in Nova Scotia in the late 1940s and through the 1950s. I don't know if it's a generational thing, or a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/regionalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#regionalism</a>, or what, but he uses a term I've never heard anyone else use.
