My most hated phrase is... Another tool for the toolbox.

I thought I was the only one who hated that phrase. I also hate to hear "good to go"

It's not a MUTE point, it's a MOOT point.

"I COULD care less" means that you care (some), usually folks should be saying "I COULDN'T care less".

That would be a Scot I think.

When used to discuss your latest project rifle, I dislike the word "build"

I know I am pissing in the wind here with that but it always seems to rub me wrong.

What is wrong with saying? "This is my latest rifle" instead of "This is my latest build"?

I think most just want to see proper grammar used here because it helps to keep the site fundamentally sound while also encouraging a degree of order. Not to mention that it helps better convey ideas and information.

As far as getting upset or irritated over an inadvertent spelling mistake, well let's just say that I suspect many here don't because they have other real issues to deal with in life.

Spelling and punctuation make writings easier to read and show respect for the reader. If it ain't worth a few seconds of your time to clean it up, it ain't worth my time to read it. I don't usually gripe about spelling, punctuation and grammar except to stir the pot.

I hated the verb "running" as in "running a rifle", I don't "run" them, I shoot them. I'm getting used to it out of necessity. I can't however read the word "rock" used as a verb is in "rock my AR" meaning "shoot my AR" without wondering about the writer's intelligence and/or drug screen panel.

It's not a MUTE point....

Personally, I'd like to see more mute points made!

The fact that you used "aint" in this post is absolutely hilarious. Been following your posts for a while, I'm assuming this is a joke and you aren't serious in your word choice given the discussion...

There aint no ****in' way your serious tho brah, if you are shit gonna hit the fan! As in SHTF...

"Stay Safe" is another phrase I am getting tired of. Everyone seems to be using it. Personally, if I wanted to stay safe I would never leave the FOB.

I prefer Stay Smart.
