<![CDATA[Usage of the word &quot;stock&quot;]]>That's right. Its a new month, so its time for a new grammar rant from me.

Lately I've been noticing a trend that is severely pissing me off. The word "stock". Now to me, if you say "stock", it means that you've done nothing to it. It came from the factory like that. NOT MODDED.

Yet I keep finding descriptions like this online:

"well is a d16a6 block with a 96 stock head just with springs and retainers and crower cam..."

How are springs, retainers, and a cam anywhere near stock? That's pretty fucking built if you ask me. Why even use the word?

I know there are millions more examples of this crap, but I just can't find any now.

I can't be the only one who is upset with the murder of the definition of "stock".
