Whenever I see a poster calling an "aluminum" boat . . . a tinny, it always rubs me the wrong way :mad-new:
I know its always from the same Folk who still use words like:
They don't wear Jeans, they wear "Dungarees"
They keep their beer in an "ice box" not a refrigerator (probably still have block ice delivered by the Iceman.
When is rains they put on their "Galoshes" not their rain boots.
And when they take a trip, they grab their "Valise" not their suitcase.
And to them my sleek, artfully designed aluminum rig is . . . still a Tinny.
For them, here is a link to the difference between "tin and "aluminum"

Please file that word "Tinny" in your Dungaree drawer and address any aluminum boat with the proper King's English . . . It's an "aluminum" boat :grumpy:
