Was just going to post the same. I get where you are going with the proper way to identify a scope; but seriously, when was the last time you saw an improperly punctuated scope description and truly couldn't fill in the blanks to identify what you are looking at? I do agree with whoever advised that if you're selling something in the classifieds, please include the specific product you are selling in the title line. Just common courtesy.

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! Thank you sir, may I please have another?

I live in redneck Country and I've heard it all. I do hate hearing somebody call their ammo "bullets". I told a guy at work that I bought 500 bullets for $45. He said wow, that's a good deal. I was talking about cast bullets only. Oh boy.
Why do I have to press 1, for English?

I can see I hit a nerve with some of y'all. The truth sometimes burns strong, doesn't it. I’m new here…. Is this the best way to get a high post count?

All time winner…. or “identify as”. Btw, what would be the best scope to put on 223, a 4 to 14 by 40 or a straight 12 by 50?

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. Not to mention spilling and those unnecessary little jots called punctuation
