Re: Do you sound like a fool?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Topstrap</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Never did get the point of putting someone else down over the way they pronounce a word or misuse a word in a sentence. The stream behind my house is a crick, could be a stream or run or maybe even a creek but around here it's a crick. And it's not very fer away.
Same with clips or magazine, I could care less what they call it. I know what they mean and as long as they are pro gun and shooting safely it don't matter what they call it.
If you say you have a Kelbly and someone tells me you have a Kelby I still know what you have big dollar gun with either a Stolle or a Stolie or Stoly or however you wish it to be pronounced action.
We do use Horna-day bullets and shoot against shooters using their Sako guns made by the watch company with Loop-Old scopes using La-POO-ah brass with hodge-dun powder in their clips being shot thru their Li-Ja barrels.
Even after all the posts on this I don't feel any dumber, just a lot happier that I'm able to hang around with a bunch of good ole boys that could care less about how we all talk to each other.
Guess I never had to worry about whether I pronounced something correctly since the ones I run with accept me for who I am and vice-a-versa. Don't care if others understand how we all do it as long as it's understood by us. Yeah Jed, ya hit about a plate high and half a plate left that time, bang ........ "RING" good call Mel, thanks. Now do it again.
Amusing to poke fun of others and think them the fool about things like this but I'm sure each of us have looked the fool to others when we run our mouths on a topic we're less educated about than the ones we're talking to.
Come to think of it, yeah I probably look like a fool sometimes but really don't care what others think.

+1 One of the great things about this wonderful country we live in is all the different dialects spoken here. We poke fun at each other about the way we speak but we're still able to communicate and 99.9% of us don't care if you pronounce something incorrectly. I grew up in Louisiana and talk about some dialect. Whew. But we all know what each other was saying. And we still had/have a great time. Keep speaking like "fools" guys. I will never correct you!
