Recently ive been seeing the word door jambs seen. Before that i often saw door jabs... Ive been calling it door jams all my life is this one of those words that no one really knows or have many of us been saying it wrong. Also can the word very based on location? For instance Americans say (ay-bowt) but Canadians say (ay-boot) lol My vote goes towards door JAMS :)

Yes, just like Mary had a little lamb.

Just Google it.

It's jambs not jams.
It's trashed not thrashed.
It's usually too not to.
etc. etc.
We could go on, but in this informal venue it really doesn't matter as long as the point gets across.

Oh god. I call the whole thing the wheel. Please tell me I haven't been saying that wrong. If it's rim I'm quitting this detailing business and getting a job at Wal-Mart... Lol

LMAO. I called the whole thing a "rim". So the whole thing is a wheel, the outer edge is the "rim".

So don't quit your detailing business :dblthumb2:
