Interesting article but it’s a damn shame that a writer for a magazine about all things mechanical doesn’t know about vulcanizing rubber. I was waiting for him to use that old stand-by “for all intensive purposes” phrase as icing on his linguistically-challenged cake.

As long as I’m pounding this drum, I’ll point out for a couple of unnamed FReepers that shoes and boots have “soles,” not “souls.”

That’s funny. I’m not saying some of boots have or don’t have a soul but most every pair (maybe pear or pare) definitely has a personality.
