I have noticed numerous, typical errors like this throughout the forum. Why is that?

I've gone ahead, and edited the title so its better in describing what the Op's issue is.

I think it maybe due to the lack of mechanical experience/jargon in not being able to describe an issue correctly when asking.

We do have member from all walks of life on here, and not everyone's born with a wrench in one hand
