Pet peeve - dampening vs. damping...of course either is acceptable I guess, but I think of dampening as making wet...where as damping as to damp vibration. When talking about cars, you can save yourself a few keystrokes many times by using damping instead of dampening! Is it inertial dampers or inertial dampeners? Star Trek fans? LOL! Good work!

Hamsterers. Hamster owners?

Both are correct.

I think damping is American, dampening is English/Australian.

    Yeah, either is acceptable...guess being of American background it must just be a preference! :) Must get used to adding unnecessary syllableblebles to my words! ;)
