Scott,

Has always, a nice detailed and accurate explanation.

The problem is that Larry didn't use the phrase "wore out"  he said
"When I wore the one".

I'm sure Trevor realized that Larry meant to say "when I wore out the
one".  But he didn't, which makes Trevor's reply pretty funny.

Personally, I find it interesting that Trevor even caught the slip up.
I'd be willing to best most readers did the same thing you and I did,
added the missing out and went on without realizing it was missing in
the first place.

Have a good weekend.

How do you ~wear~ a 5.5mm socket wrench? What, pray tell,

is 5.5 mm on

your body? Your pinkie, perhaps?

I'm not sure if you're joking or if you didn't understand what Larry meant... The term "wore out" means that the continued use of the item caused the parts to degrade to the point where it needed to be replaced.

For example, if you do a lot of driving, you might "wear out" the tires on your car, because little-by-little the rubber wears down, and has to be replaced. As a verb, you might say "I wore out the tires on my car".

Larry is saying that he "wore out" the tool he got from IBM, so he bought two new ones.
