Talk:Jack chain

The name
Where does the name "jack chain" come from?199.125.109.125 (talk) 05:05, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Elaborate?
Hi, @Swpb. I'd thought my edit was correct. Why did you revert it? The commas I'd removed are incorrect, to my knowledge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ASploopyPerson (talk • contribs) 17:57, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * It was not correct. The first comma is grammatically optional, but the latter two are absolutely necessary. They separate a list of three uses: (1) to suspend fixtures such as lights or signs, (2) for decorative purposes, or (3) as part of a cable lock. Without the commas, the sentence says that jack chains are used either (1) to suspend fixtures such as lights or signs for decorative purposes, or (2) to suspend fixtures such as lights or signs as part of a cable lock. Which makes no sense. — swpb T&#8201;•&#8201;go beyond&#8201;•&#8201;bad idea 13:39, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
