    Default Do You Pronounce It Correctly?



    The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.

    Sometimes I say 'clip" instead of "magazine" even though I know the difference. I pronounce Garand so the "g" sounds like a "j" just to tweak brittle people.

    I personally can’t stand when someone says clip. I cringe just alittle inside but I’m also not an asshole to put someone down for saying it. Just a personal pet peeve. Garanade starts with “g”. I have heard people pronounce the gar”ande” as gar”and” as well. Either or works

    I don’t care if people say clip when they should say mag, it just tells me they don’t much about firearms.

    In the context of this thread, it is a clip

    M1 Garand uses a clip, so that is correct.

    I can’t stand when people say cinder block, it’s a concrete block, CMU or concrete masonry unit.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    I had a customer a while back that every time he talked about the soffit, he called it the esophagus.
    I never corrected him it but it was all I could do to keep a straight face

    I still hear corn acre on occasion, usually from older folks that add “r” to other words as well like windor (instead of window) and idear or warsh
