Contender for the picking flyshit out of pepper award...

I use all of the correct wording, or try to.
But, nobody cares about your sandy hoochie being rubbed the wrong way. yeah but if you can dress or wear stuff on your rifles then before too long they will start assigning genders to them, and there will probably be more the two genders! just saying... Well, I already assign genders to my guns. They're all women. Except for my rifled shotgun, that one is definitely trans. Not sure what it wants to be.

I read on the internet that the pronounciation of the scope designation can vary some what depending on the caliber of the rifle - 30-06 caliber, .308 Winchester caliber, 6mm caliber and so on and so fourth.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

An 8 point in the East is a 4 point in the West...What is a Buck with busted off horns, but stubbs..
It’s a mythical creature, because “deer” don’t have horns. Never did, never will.
Oh, and believe it or not, deer bite. Fairly hard.

Pay attention, you jackwads - this may be confusing to some of you slow kids, so get a friend to help you with this lesson if you need to.
When referring to a scope it's a "3-9x40", which is pronounced "three to nine by forty". It is not a cotdam 3x9x40, or simply a 3x9. A 3x9 would be a fixed magnification at 3x with an objective of 9mm, about the diameter of a soda straw - probably not good for low-light hunting, BTW. 😉
Another example: a 4-15x50 is a "4 to 15 by 50". And so on, etc.
Just had to get that off my chest. Carry on, maggots! The one that grinds my gears, and it is more on facebook than here, is someone who has something for sell. They want to sale their car. It is actually very common... how do you use the work opposite from the way it was intended to be used.

Yep, nobody cares very much-though I occasionally get slightly annoyed when somebody lists a 12x26x56 scope for sale.
Also get a little annoyed when somebody says or writes "first-year anniversary," or "fifth-year anniversary." The "anni" in annversary means year, which is why until a few years age the common form was "first anniversary", or "fifth anniversary."
But objecting to any of this is like shoveling sand against an incoming tide. Dont forget PIN Number. The N in Pin stands for number.... come on people!

One thing is for sure... correcting grammar on the internet will get your post count up!
