Do you have a sticker saying that? I want it!

Seriously, I just made it up. But I like it.

 

[diesel1959]

Jesus, Bush said it that way, makes me nuts...

Nu-Kee-Lur.........UGH

Hell, Jimmy Carter was an Annapolis-trained nuclear engineer who served on nuclear submarines and even HE would say "nu-que-ler" . . . and it drove me batty.

I've come to the conclusion that many here need medication.

 

[SloppyShooter]

Whatcha got?

 

[jrbfishn]

Naw. But the rest of the world needs some serious meds.

Aced English in college and still f-up my werds. Oftin just ta get a point akross.

Treading close to a personal pet peeve of mine, there. I'm willing to use various misspellings and poor grammar in conversational writing. That's legit. But it's possible to step over the line.

From _Handloading for Competition_ by Glenn Zediker, out of the bio of the author:

I have a degree from Ole Miss in English (which certifies me to butcher the language as freely as I do because I know better.)

No, it doesn't.

On balance, I love that book and learned a great deal from it. However, there are paragraphs in that book that are simply unreadable when he tries for a backwoods/folksy tone and completely misses the mark. For example, there's a paragraph where he makes a point about the relative quality of reloading presses by talking about a squirrel running into a tree.

I don't have the foggiest notion what he was trying to say.

Sometimes you can go too far.

I am saddened by the fact that I can only <like> Ben's post above but once.

This was not done maliciously, but, to point out that it does happen with intent.

Maybe you just need to brush up on the finer points of squirrel behavior.

Agreed. It happened at least twice, with deliberate intent, in the text of mine that you quoted.

Maybe. You be the judge.

Now, I can't say a Harrell's is better aligned than any other press one might encounter, but I can say that all Harrell's presses are aligned, meaning the assurance of purchasing as perfectly made a tool as can be gotten are 100-percent with Harrell's. I don't know what those odds are with an RCBS, but I have only recently seen a squirrel run headlong into a tree trunk; the squirrel was very proudly carrying an acorn.

Now, just WTF is he saying with all the text following "but I have only recently seen..."?

PS - No comment on the irritating punctuation errors.

 

[orbitup]

He's saying that even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally.

 

[benenglish]

He's saying that even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally.

And, thus, lucking into an RCBS aligned as well as a Harrell's, while possible, is very unlikely.

Holy crap, I have read that paragraph 100 times and it never penetrated my consciousness before just now.

Thank you, sir. 1000 times, thank you.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't take me too seriously all the time.

ETA: I also should have stated "...more obvious intent."

No, no it isn't, sometimes it's downright awful!

*this isn't a warning - it's a phrase that makes me mad
(at the cause, not the speaker).
