    but heck I'm guilty of using country slang spellings & usage here all the time.........
    Uh... looks like you misspelled the correct misspelling, to wit: "boolits" (sic) and "castboolits" (sic). One should be wrong correctly... or properly incorrect. No. That's not it...

    ..sounds like they irked your chain..


    Nevermind...

    ..again.

      I was reading in the AMERICAN HUNTER, the doofuses who wrote the NY safe act wrote the law such that an illegal feature on guns under this draconian law is.... A MUZZLE "BREAK!"

      That is invalid since there is no such thing. There are numerous other doofus mistakes in the law which was written hastily by antigun lawyers with no gun expertise at all.

        How about '' I seen''? It's '' I saw'' or '' I have seen''. Oh yah, another'ne that sticks in my craw is '' prolly''. The word is '' probably''.

          Indeed! If it is sufficiently stupid it should win the Darwin Award. But don't get me started on that. We are now societally disposed to protect everyone from themselves, notwithstanding the lethality of their poor judgment.

            The word I hate, and I use it out of habit and laziness is "YA" instead of yes. It always sounds like the person using it is barely acknowledging that you said something so that they can
            start talking.

              I see people all the time write that they want to "sale thier rifle" instead of wanting to "sell" it. I always thought it was probably regional phonics at play.

                I figure it's one of two things: either auto-correct, or, more likely, just plain laziness. It's second grade grammer.
