I am not of English speaking origin, but the way Baggingsbill phrased his reply to the "awful joints" was perfectly clear to me. Not only did he explain the meanings of the word awful, he also placed his "smoking" reply between brackets after indicating he used it as an expression that was similar to the unclear meaning of "awful".

One does not show good manners by entering discussion with "V4 has awful joints" when this opinion is clearly based on prejudice instead of proven facts. So I am very interested in seeing how awful these joints are.
