The bullet or head debate goes on.

[Tim.243]

They're...

They're... heads.

Gift, is the Swedish word for poison and being married. Now that makes sense to me.

Gift is poison in German too, because you give it perhaps?

 

[cjm1066]

Heads seems to be used alongside chassis for action, price point and sentences ending with 3 full stops.

All found in the shooting comics that give excellent reviews to products provided by their advertiser's.

Wensday,Guvvverment, along with heads just shows a slovenly slide into a morass of laziness, I blame people like Beth “No G” RiGby on the tellyboxnooos.The current Home Sekkkerterry is another no G.

Although, the use of "heads" is actually wrong, rather than sloppy. Like "I done a task". Or the BBC's recent conversion to "there is many items".

More continuation of the left-wing process of infiltrating idiots into unduly powerful positions in every part of life.

Watched a YouTube video, who tee who, and the guy was talking about boolets.
Just wondering where I could get some of those?

Think it'll be 'boolits'? Cast lead bullets, I think? Just an Americanism, I imagine. The correct term is still 'bullet'

Oh yeah. While we are about it, is possessing firearms a right or privilege? And what is the best calibre for fox?

 

[Utectok]

Ehh I’m mystified the debate goes on really? Extreme boredom debate ? Does anyone really care ?

 

[paul o']

Speed pills

It's a right; and 9.3x64

‘If ‘alf of yer bullets fly wide of the ditch
Don’t call your martini a cross eyed old bitch’

Doesn’t have quite the same ring to it with ‘heads’. It’s a syllable short and doesn’t scan very nicely.

 

[enfieldspares]

Oh for God's sake! If everybody understands what is meant does it matter? What next endless pages of debate about whether what is inside a shotgun cartridge are pellets or shot? Or whether we in the UK should call pistol or rifle cartridges load with fully jacketed bullets by the American tag "FMJ" or call them by the traditional British description of "ball ammunition"?

 

[Bavarianbrit]

Opps.

 

[Tim.243]

NO

Yes, in my opinion it does matter. Just as the insidious creeping use of ‘like’ and ‘fink’ matters, the use of American spellings and any word that might, perhaps, encourage the reader to reach for a dictionary.

 

[Woodsmoke]

Oh for God's sake! If everybody understands what is meant does it matter?

Yes, it matters. It matters a great deal to those of us who care about the correct use of language. However, it's becoming more and more apparent that stupidity is being embraced as a virtue these days. Pearls before swine . . . .

 

[MAH]

I agree, if language and grammar become blurred, then communicating becomes blurred.

Funny enough , we still use the term Ball Ammo when referring to FMJs and shot instead of pellets . Heads isn't a term that's used here though .
