Sorry, guys, but I've had just about enough of this string. Talk about being pretentious! I think lectures about which are the "right" words for good Americans to use is silly, divisive, and chauvinistic. So I'm not patriotic enough, or genuine enough, or tough enough to suit you ... because I use the word "bore" instead of "gauge"? Because it's an English term, and somehow that's a bad thing? And which nation did the Manton brothers come from? And where was the game gun born? And speaking of those funny-talking Brits, who is it that still stands by us, and bleeds with us, in Iraq? Give me a break! New topic, please. TT
