Well, if this was the same guy I communicated with, he's in no position to give anyone a lesson on terminology. I asked if they could supply a good-quality speedometer cable, and he responded by saying, with no information at all about the situation, that the problem wasn't the cable but the speedometer, probably poor "dampening" (the right term is <span style="font-style: italic">damping</span>--I'm sure there's nothing wet in the speedometer) and I needed a complete rebuild. I had just rebuilt and calibrated the speedometer, so I knew this was not the case. I also know that there is nothing in the speedometer, beyond air and pivot friction, that damps the movement.

This is not the way to generate long-term, loyal customers.
 
"Dampening" has several meanings, one of which is correctly used as in shock absorbers, or anything that restricts or deadens movment.

That said, that usage is almost archaic these days. That's the problem with language that changes over time...
