Or "honestly."

Who said anything about problems? I might consider swapping annoyances, however.

Quite superfluous, as if we want to be told a dishonest opinion.

Are we to assume everything else is dishonest?

But of course, honestly!

It is a 'build' while it is not complete.

It is a 'bike' once you've ridden it.

I am confused by the word "Smuckers", is this where I post to discuss my quandary?

Then you must not like the Stay Puft Marshmallow man!

True, but superfluity does not vitiate.

I'm listening.

or "quite frankly"

Quite unfrankly, I bought my bike as a bike and turned it into a build. The only original items remaining are the frame and brakes... I guess it's a bike again now, but not the one I bought.

Honestly, this discussion is completely superfluous and I mean that literally.

It annoys me when people on internet forums use the word eschew.

"Build" is a generic engineering term used to refer to an assembly of parts that can be assembled in different configurations. Software comes in builds. Cars and motorcycles come in builds. Circuit boards come in builds. It's a perfectly reasonable use of the word. Conversely, It would be ridiculous to call your Ikea furniture a build just because you built it. It's the design that matters, or rather, the assembly plan. Usually a build is simply the design itself, but it can be used for an instance of a build.

I nominate myself for most boring comment ever.

What is your boggle?

I would nominate any of PCADs comments about Cervelo as the most boring comment ever. Yours is more logical and on the surface without entertainment value, but I appreciate use of analogies.

"can't hardly"....that annoys me

I could care less.....

It really rolls around funny in my head... smuckers, smuckers, doesn't seem to be a family oriented word for jam, good lord, "smuckers jam"... for years I stand in the super market giggling while I stare at the label.

Has ever any thread been as badly hijacked as this one? Right now I am watching my wife build dinner. She is the best cook. How about that?!

Mr. Willard Smucker, son of founder J.M. Smucker, is not amused.

Language changes (heh, "evolves") more rapidly now that ever.

Launguage is splintering into sublanguages (specialized jargon) faster than ever! ...while the mainstream "standard" penetrates the swamp, hills, and even the Beach, like, never before!

Language is a gift from God.

bike "build" - mix, arrangement, assembly, hmm... composition, conception

What exactly does it MEAN?

Not exactly a version, like software, as there's (well, should be) progression, like year models - systematic improvement, enhancements, bug fixes, etc.

Choose the pieces, put them together.

The list of synonyms above capture somes range of the possible angles of eyes to nose in relation to "build."

Sniff

Kitt was a talking car.
Build because of {n**make.

Probably the main word that bugs me is that everything is a solution. If I want to buy a switch, I used to buy it from someone who sells switches, but now I buy it from someone who sells "Switching solutions." Oh yeah, and I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what an Interweb is. heh

I hate the name "Brifters" but I have to admit it's pretty descriptive.

In snowboarding we use bindings, but a couple people I know call them "Binders".

I hate it when people use a "z" at the end of words. "Urban Bike Solutionz" would be a great name for a shop.

I must have a mental problem, because this kind of stuff shouldn't bother a normal person. Seriously

The post is about using the word "build" as a noun. That's not a gerund.

Was your kit moist?
