[chris kennedy]

Thanks to our good friends at Belmont Dental romex connectors are now an acceptable means of terminating type AC in their equipment. Go figure.

110.3(B) can kiss my rear, I'm using a SG38A to terminate my HCFMC. Just pointing out the amusing things we run across.

I think it might be fun to mess with your inspector.

Agreed, the inspector on this job is sharp and has a great sense of humor. Game on.

Wait until Southwire sees that unauthorized use of their trademarked term

They were cranky about the use of "romex" on a HI forum that I rarely visit, wanted either NM or Romex? used if I recall correctly. Southwire does need to protect their trademark, guard it or lose it.

I don't see why people let their Adrenalin? get all out of control. They need to take a chill pill or at least a Tylenol? or an Aspirin?. They could also play Hula Hoop?, pop some Bubble Wrap?, sit in the Jacuzzi?, eat a Popsicle? or drink a Coke?. Some of the things I like to do to relax is Scotch Tape? some Saran Wrap? to the toilet or Photoshop? some pictures. There are plenty of ways to relax - just Google? "How to calm down."

Recently I combined my Photoshop? hobby with work and did a mockup of some Decora? plates in different colors for a customer. They have Formica? countertops and wanted to match the color. Their Realtor? told them it would help the resale value. She went around and put Post-it? notes on all the ones she wanted changed. It turned into a pretty decent size remodel job so we got a Dumpster?.

Anyway, I better set the Crock-Pot? and get to work.

Aspirin?.

Bayer lost protection to the term aspirin as part of the treaty of Versailles that ended WWI, so it is not trademarked in the US.

True, I stretched that one a bit, but while it's not trademarked here anymore, it is trademarked in other countries still.

Here's a good read for some more trademark absurdities:

That's not even a Romex connector pictured. It is an MC/AC connector!

To me it looks like a MC/AC/NM combination connector.

Just to add Twistlock? and Sheetrock?. Cellophane & Superglue lost trademark protection.
