Being the self styled resident pedant, I have noticed that there are many mistakes, untruths and misconceptions regularly stated on this forum.
I am sure that the writers are not aware of their errors or sloppiness so, in a hopefully lighthearted way, let's see if we can correct some of them so that we can all become better informed and sound less ignorant in the pub and on line
I'll start it off with my two favourites:

In the UK, they are dampers. The spring is the shock! (unless you are American)
