Message:: [QUOTE="Mac McDonald, post: 8089415, member: 117420"]BETTER ANSWER...IMO:  This mark is best called a mark.  So many use the term or variation of "mark" as exampled in these posts...and then make the interpretive and subjective decision of adding and/or substituting something else, of which another disagrees with. Better as simply a "mark" or "marks"...even and especially on TPG labels...and allow others to decide what they think. Maybe heavy or light mark/marks...even abrasive marks or scratch marks...disqualifying mark(s), etc...but by at least including the term mark/marks, one isn't passing judgment for what it is/isn't over something else as it appears to another.  No matter how hard you try you'll never define/standardize the terms of people's interpretations...and better to simply be leaving it up to the other person(s) to decide for themselves what THEY think the mark(s) is, rather than what many are going to disagree with ("it's a scratch...no, that's a gouge...no it's a scrape...no it's too narrow...it's not wide, thin, deep enough to be...no metal was moved...oh yes I think there was"...and on and on...with all respect for what you're trying to do). Whatever it is/isn't...it most certainly IS a mark...and you'll always be right.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
