“Shoveling sand against an incoming tide” reminds me of being assigned to moat dredging duty by my nieces, building sandcastles on a tropical beach . Great sport, but of course futile.
Great mental image on this January evening surrounded by so much snow here in Canada’s North
My punctuation peeve = .25-‘06 or .30-‘06 ‘06 is obviously a contraction of 1906, Also , as a corrolary, why isn’t .270 Win known as .270-‘03, and similarly .280 Rem as .28-‘03 ??

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
Don't forget those pesky paragraphs, or the lack thereof!

As long as we're listing annoyances, using "They-Them" plural pronoun when referring to a single misguided individual.
It's interesting to hear all the southernisms I've been introduced to, here in N.C.
People are crazy but I agree, 3x9x40 is annoying.

Now that's getting deep right there.
Yup, Piled Higher and Deeper. ;-)
Rem 700 KS, 6.5-280 AI w/ 2-10 x 50 FFP Illum. What could be simpler ? Confusion comes from parsing out the Zoom range ( 2x - 10x = 5x )

Was talking to the head of the gun department at a local sporting goods store one day, and he was once baffled by some guy who asked if they had any "Eye Mister" gun powder--which turned out to be IMR. Another guy asked for "Hogadun" powder.
