You don't need to siphon gas, gas moves by it's own volition. What you need to do is use a period behind an abbreviation. I spent years (I live outside the USA) thinking Americans dumb, because they called petrol gas, then someone told me they were just abbreviating the word gasoline, and then I felt dumb. Now I know that dumb means unable to speak, so I am not dumb, nowhere near it, and I also know that when Americans say gas they mean gasoline. But you will still need a period after an abbreviation. You can't just not use punctuation. Or next thing you know you'll be typing u for you and using emojis to make sentences. Please, embrace being grown up and literate.
So, why don't you put a period after petrol, an abbreviation of petroleum? If it's a neologism, so too is "gas". If it's not - grow up and become literate :-) (in annoying younger-brother mode)
Really want to, but can't find confirmation of this.

You can't talk to those people. They think they're right just because the name of the language matches the name of their country.
ReplyDeleteWilliamRocket is from New Zealand; I don't think that's a language. Pay no mind to him, his hobby is giving lectures to people who don't listen.
