Re: Memory installation in a 170?

OK So while I DID get straight 'A's in English grammar I have redeployed those bits in my brain to remember that the screw size on the back of a 170 is 5.5mm. I will attempt to use the knowledge gained here to reduce the future workload of my editors!! 

Thanks for the clarification!!

Hi:

Not an English major, but a former proofreader.
When a word like "out" is used adverbially to modify a verb like "wore", creating a verb phrase such as "wore out" with a meaning distinct from the two words considered apart, it is important for clarity that one not separate the two words of the phrase. So, your second sentence example, "When I wore out the one I got from IBM ..." is the better of the two. 

This is even more fun than catching sentence-ending prepositions with.
