why do you pepple say tints?

i dont get it.

i have never heard anyone say "tints" until i came to this forum

scenario:

dude 1: yo man, what mods you got on your car?
dude 2 : tints.


that brings up another point.
is tinting mod?

:scratchhead:

i dont consider it a mod, i wouldn't put on a mod list for a car show - llumar 15% tint.

here's what people that i know say

"i'm going to tint my car"
"i'm getting my car tinted'
"my window tint is scratched"

but never ever heard tints

so please oh please, explain tints to me

dont give me that - "it's mutiple pieces of tint, so i call it tints" crap either.

b/c you buy rolls of TINT

:troutslap to all the people who say tints.

You don't buy rolls of TINT. You buy rolls of window FILM.

BTW, "people" is spelled with an "O", not "pepple".

Haha... people also say installing "headers" to the TSX. English is so messed up sometimes, which reminds me of something I read...

You have mouse and mice, man and men, goose and geese, foot and feet, but you don't say boot and beet.

I say tints. Everyone says headers. youre not putting in more than one header.

I dont think it really matters, just poor grammar.

I consider it a mod. For almost $300 that shits going under my mod list

tints
stuffs
junks
headers


Anyway, as you know down in FL dzuy the legal limit is like 28% on the driver and passenger windows and 15% for everything behind it so technically it is 2 different kinds of TINTS/films. Also, Normaly you don't use 1 roll of film for a car. I use a 36"roll for the back window, 20" roll for the side windows (and sometimes another seperate 20" roll for lighter colors on the front 2 windows.) Thus the term tints

And yes tints are a mod since it makes the car so much nicer. Also, H.I.N. has a category for best use of window tint. even though I don't have any designs or anything in my tints I am going to enter my car in that category this weekend. when they ask why did you enter in "Best Use Of Window Tint?" I will say, because I put it on a TSX

Ah... although that would only work if someone had two difference shades of tint. Say 50% and 35%... then that person has "tintS" on their car. Otherwise... even if you use two separate rolls of 35% for the back and front how do you know that that film didn't originate from the same source. Then you only have one "tint" one your car

headers is not a grammar thing hahah.

i wasn't directing the comment at you haha

anyway, i was at the car show and people were askin me if i had headers.

i couldn't help to think to myself - i have a header. yes.

there are lot of people out there that dont understand the concept of header vs headers.

to the people who have two diff percentages of tint - it's still tint. not tints.

I never said everyone has tints! I have 20% on the sides and 5% on the window visor and back window. So I have TintS! Plural! More than 1 tint!

CJams has now revoked ownership from TSX.Fury! Gi'me that back!

BTW-Here is a definition of:

TintS-Various tones (strengths) of colour.

Personally I say TINT. Course in the hood you may say: "I gots me some tints fos my windos".

But while you on the subject of verbage not making sense, while do we say Pair of Panties or Panties (which is plural when it holds singular items -ok perhaps 2 cheeks) and a Bra (singular - when it holds 2 things)?


Quick Reply: why do you pepple say tints?
