Weldor aka Egotist

I really don't know, and don't care to comment about banker and engineer.

Lawyer is a different story.

This is weird. At first I had no idea what Ned was talking about, but now I can see that it is true that a lot of prestigious occupations end in "or":

Governor, professor, doctor...

And a lot of less prestigious occupations end in "er":

Farmer, butcher, miner...

But what happened here?

Lawyer, banker, engineer...

:-D

Injinors are notoriously bad spellors

In England do they use Grey or Gray? I know they use colour. I like to use colour every once in a while hoping someone will tell me I misspelled it.

Grey.

Not that it really matters that much, but I *do* have an operators manual/parts list booklet that came with my Lincoln 225a buzz box and it is entitled "Weldor's Guide" (by Lincoln).... Ken.

But it was the work of that troll at Lincoln again, dammit.

Ned Simmons

ROTFLMAO

And what do Miller and all the rest of Lincoln's opposition say ?

My Peerless weldER machine manual calls the operater a weldER as well.

Well, that's obvious. Weldors who learn to weld on a Lincoln welder are better weldors than those who learn on Miller or Peerless welders. They deserve the status of the name.

HTH
