thank you ... for your attempts to wrench this thread back onto "Q&A about words"

Nice one, tsuwm.

If we had a rummage sale for collectible old words, what would we call it? [If not WFFTD, of course. ]

It's never a good idea to use a wrench on a thread, however. Father Steve's methods are usually more adroit than that.

If a screw is loose, what is wanted is a screwdriver not a wrench.

A loose screw screwed tight can prevent a Board from warping.
