Kind of a weird post, but when I was driving home from work today I saw a bunch of hunters and fisherman on the rural route that I take.

 I think I have wondered this many times before, but this is the first time I wrote the weird question down.

Why is that people who hunt are called ‘hunters’ instead of hunterman?

Involving the above, why then are people who fish called ‘fisherman’, instead of fishers?

The english language is such a weird and complex thing….

Are not a replacement for seat belts? Some vehicles feature an on/off switch for air bags so they can be turned off in the event that a passenger 12 years or under sits in the fron seat.

Surveys show that many times the air bag switch is incorrectly left on for these passengers, which can result in injury. As a precaution, it is best to always check the switch before pulling away. Better yet, have younger passengers always ride in the backseat of the vehicle, which is safer.

Frontal air bags have saved more than 13,000 lives between 1987-2003. Today, front air bags are standard equipment on vehicles and air side air bags (SABs) are quickly becoming standard as well. SABs are inflateable devices that are designed to help protect your head and/or chest in the event of a serious crash involving the side of your vehicle. Although they are not regulated or mandated, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that if all vehicles on U.S. roads were equipped with at least head protection SAB’s, around 1000 lives would be saved per year during side impact crashes.
