About 40 years ago, I used to say "recticle" when talking about scopes because the first time I heard it that's the way it was pronounced. Then some years later when I saw the word in print I realized I'd been saying wrong all along.

And he was a instructor???I may have written about this on these forums once before but, several years ago I took a class (just because one of the instructors was a friend of my son) and one of the instructors went on at length about the importance of proper terminology, specifically what is a “magazine” and what is a “clip.” He holds up a magazine and says “This IS NOT a clip! See it enclosed the rounds inside itself. A clip is like what they had in World War Two on the M1 Garand. The rounds were held in a clip called a stripper clip. They’d put the clip in the top, strip the rounds out with their thumb and then the clip would fly out the top.”
Oh Kay….
Some guys on gun boards are always talking about their "reticules", yep, their small purses.About 40 years ago, I used to say "recticle" when talking about scopes because the first time I heard it that's the way it was pronounced.

Reckon whatchu got en em bags er? Warsh? I like them french fries pataters. Musters gud on em to me!Carl Childers said warsh.
Some of that is due to FB and others whose algorithms don't like the word bullet.Pills. Freedom seeds... Ugh.
That's good to know. I thought it was plural because a bullet made more than one revolution per minute; but now I see I had the wrong word pluralized.When people refer to bullet rotational speeds or spindle speeds using RPMS or RPM's I cringe.
RPM is already plural, it refers to Revolutions Per Minute. No "s" suffix needed!
