I don't get worked up over somone calling a detachable magazine a "clip" either. Context makes it clear what they mean. Good enough.
Don't go there! I found examples of Remingtoon calling their part for the 760 all three terms: CLIP MAGAZINE MAGAZINE CLIP Almost two much too bare..... WGAF. Marlin called them clips in their ads as far back as I can remember. Everybody knows what they're talkin about. Hell, I've always called them clips myself, though I do know the difference between a clip and a detachable box magazine.

When I was a child, I thought only old maid schoolteachers picked on how you said it rather than what you said. I was wrong.

Me too Mike
I don't remember ever hearing 'clip' referred to as a magazine UNTIL I joined the fire in 2010.
As Mtn Boomer said.....

But gentlemen it’s really spelled calibre 😃 at least up here.
Correct English versus the vernacular is always challenge especially when regional and national variations come into play.
Just think about what certain birds, fish and animals have for various regional names.
Burbot, Fresh water ling cod, eelpout, Mariah, coney fish etc, all are lota lota taxonomically. Should we insist that only lota lota is acceptable?
As long as we all understand each other how important are small variations in language?

John, I noticed Europeans and Scandinavians almost universally refer to individual cartridges as "Caliber" (or Kaliber as the case may be).
When I was younger it bugged me. Now I figure it's not a mountain worth dying on...
Q: "What caliber you shootin?" - A: "7em-em."
Translation:
Q: "What's your rifle chambered for?" A: "7mm Remington Magnum."
Here in Montana, only the 7RM is referred to as "7 em-em" so it's easy to know it's never a 7mm-08, 7x57, etc.

Way back when I gave up explaining my metric cartridges because it always guaranteed a follow on question:
"What'd you use on the mulie? My 6.5 Swede. What's that? It's a .26 caliber."
These days in the interest of reducing cartridge question pollution I do the following:
"What'd you shoot that elk with? My .26 Creedmoor. Really? Yup."
"What's that rifle? That's my .366 Bock. Hmmm, never heard of that one. I know".

When I was a kid, if someone invited you to go deer hunting with them and said "grab your 30-30, we're goin' to meet at Wood's orchard at 6:30'", you knew where and when they wanted you to show up prepared to hunt and that you needed to bring your deer rifle, regardless of what caliber the bore diameter was, what cartridge it was chambered for, or what make, model, or style it was. Back then, "30-30" was a generic term for a hunting rifle. The Savage 340 series rifles chambered in 30-30 were very common, as they generally sold new for under $75 and used for under $50. Winchester 94s sold for less than $100 in 30-30, common, and 32 WS, much less common It seemed like nearly every house had a rifle chambered in 30-30 and a 12 gauge shotgun gathering dust in a closet somewhere, along with a handful of loose ammo in the kitchen utility/junk drawer. Years have passed and times have change
As a side note, I find it odd that very few of those rifles were equipped with receiver sights, despite the fact that most of the people who I hunted with back then had fathers and uncles who had served in WW2 or Korea and had been issued a rifle with a receiver sight, either a Garand or an M1/M2 Carbine.

Ingwe: perhaps he meant it was too much to expose…. Prezactly. Bearing my sole exposes me to much criticism... Clip? Don't own a single one. Mags? Yes. High caliber rifle? Yes, I have a few pretty decent ones.

Lets get completely annoying and praise the shotty that is a caliber....4 huner n ten!
Honestly, when i hear somebody use the term shotty, or refer to cartridges as caliber....i just write em off as dumbasses.
Somebody brings a cool rifle to my local hangout and Ill ask "What chambering ? "
The cool guys smile.
Most however just stare like deer in the headlights.

I never heard of no receiver sight, they're peep sights. Obviously because you peep through them. This was even though we lived a mere 50 miles from LEO-pold.
We also had water uzels that dipped in the crick for periwinkles. It took months at the Oregon State University re-education and indoctrination facility to convince me other terms may be more universally applicable.

Preach it cousin! Shotty? That's pretty bad.

IMHO you can pretty well guess by such word usage... which folks think a bore sighting the night before the opener is good enough.
