Seriously, I just made it up. But I like it.Do you have a sticker saying that? I want it!
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.Jesus, Bush said it that way, makes me nuts...
Nu-Kee-Lur.........UGH
dagnabit--missed by one. :doh:We made it
Whatcha got?I've come to the conclusion that many here need medication.
Naw. But the rest of the world needs some serious meds.I've come to the conclusion that many here need medication.
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.Aced English in college and still f-up my werds. Oftin just ta get a point akross.
No, it doesn't.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.)

From _Handloading for Competition_ by Glenn Zediker, out of the bio of the author: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.
Agreed. It happened at least twice, with deliberate intent, in the text of mine that you quoted.This was not done maliciously, but, to point out that it does happen with intent.
Maybe. You be the judge.Maybe you just need to brush up on the finer points of squirrel behavior.
Now, just WTF is he saying with all the text following "but I have only recently seen..."?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.
And, thus, lucking into an RCBS aligned as well as a Harrell's, while possible, is very unlikely.He's saying that even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally.
I'm going to mark this day on my calendar.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.
Agreed. It happened at least twice, with deliberate intent, in the text of mine that you quoted.
