    Spelling Nazi says it's "acetylene"

    The last time this little, overly educated goat checked, grammar rules only pertain to spelling when the placement of letters affects the structure of the sentence.

    Back to sleep (the pronoun, adverb, and verb are all implied).

    one guy asking questions 4 posts about SPELLING???? lame!!!

    to answer your question,,, do to cut that thick with propane you might need to go way bigger on the tip size,, propane has very little btu output compared to accetelene... it takes alot longer to use propane,, in production the time is not worth the cost savings!!!

    I worked at a metal / machine / weld shop for 3.5, we used propylene. I couldn't tell the difference with that vs acetylene.

    Also what does overly educated mean? Are you a doctor, a lawyer, and an astronaut?
