changing light bulbs

53 to flame the spell checkers

41 to correct spelling/grammar flames

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light
bulb" ...

another 6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive

2 industry professionals to inform the forum that the proper term is "lamp"

You forgot to add:

2503 to argue whether it's a Canon or Nikon lightbulb, and which lightbulb is better.

403 to butt in and say that Canon lightbulb, Nikon lightbulb, as long as it gives off light, its a good lightbulb

and 1 last one to say Nikon lightbulb, Canon lightbulb, it's not a lightbulb unless its a Leica lightbulb.

:D

:D

and....

1 will say "You're not a true photographer unless you use a Leica". :rolleyes:
 

And another 400 to say that it's not the brand of the lightbulb that is important, it is the person who is flicking the switch.

Variant: it does not matter if it's a black lightbulb or a white lightbulb - as long as it makes light it is a good lightbulb.

Some lightbulbs can outlast other lightbulbs... :D
Some are energysavers :D
Some are brighter :D
 

and 1 to ask "Pardon my ignorance, but what is a lightblub?" :D

Cheers,
 

Wah Liao...

Of all people, that is the best one other than jOhO who started this thread about Lightbulbs.
