Subaruguru, first you mention the British term of "kit" for "system" then you call them Patriots. Where are your loyalties on this long past war? ; ^).
New gears?
Hey yous guys,
Guess what -- the word "gear" is a plural form without the added "s" when used in the context of audio (or any other) type of equipment. When I think of "gears," it's usually in the context of individual mechanical gears, like those found in a watch or a multi-speed bicycle. I don't believe it should be used to refer to individual components.
Am I wrong? Is "gears" also acceptable when used in this context? It sounds very odd to me. Any English scholars out there?
