And when you look through the scope, make sure you can see the [b]RECTICLE[/b], damnit!
Everytime I hear someone call it a "reticle" I feel like slappin' 'em. |

Quoted: "It's a mute point..." [LOL] Ive only known one person who says that, he'd gotten away with it up to being a second semester senior in college before saying it in a design team meeting one day and I corrected him... his whole life shattered in that moment... I thought he was going to start crying Quoted: And when you look through the scope, make sure you can see the RECTICLE, damnit! I was ordering a scope one time... the poor little girl on the phone goes "and thats got a... uh mildot... uh... rec... uhhh... recticle?... hehehe*cough* uh, is that correct sir?" I couldn't help but start laughing when I confirmed... Jonathan |

No entry found for recticle. 1 suggestion found: reticle Reticle Reticle Reticle.

Like 3X9X40 when they mean 3-9X40. Even some of the manufacturers do it. Drives me nuts almost as bad as when people pronounce "Nuclear" as "Nook-yoo-ler". |

Butchering of the English language pet peeves:
1. It's people WHO, not people THAT. eg: "People WHO live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." 2. It's try TO, not try AND. eg: "Let's try TO accomplish that task." 3. It's AN historic event, not A historic event. 4. It's a LECTERN, not a goddamned PODIUM. A PODIUM is a raised platform. A LECTERN is the structure that speakers stand behind. I feel better now that I've vented. Thank you. |

I will admit
sometimes I goof up the 'there/their/they're' thing, usually when I am typing a couple of words behind what I am thinking. And I forgive transposing a couple of letters, because we all do it. What gets me though is: 'irregardless' That drives me up the wall. I once corrected one of my ex-bosses during a group meeting after she had used it 5-6 times. Didnt go over real well. |

flammable vs inflammable
(From dictionary.com) Usage Note: Historically, flammable and inflammable mean the same thing. However, the presence of the prefix in- has misled many people into assuming that inflammable means “not flammable” or “noncombustible.” The prefix -in in inflammable is not, however, the Latin negative prefix -in, which is related to the English -un and appears in such words as indecent and inglorious. Rather, this -in is an intensive prefix derived from the Latin preposition in. This prefix also appears in the word enflame. But many people are not aware of this derivation, and for clarity's sake it is advisable to use only flammable to give warnings. Hey...can you tell I had to look it up?![:D] |

More subtle, but how about the common misplacement of 'only'?
I only shoot Bushmaster rifles. [slap] What, you never clean Bushmaster rifles? Sell Bushmaster rifles? How about, "I shoot only Bushmaster rifles." Very common error, by the way -- even though I could care less. [;)] |

"for all intensive purposes"
that just cracks me up. I used to have a sig line about "I could care less" because it is such a peeve of mine. To me, that is the epitome of careless and lazy communication. Everyone makes mistakes but it is disappointing that some folks are actively ignorant. |
