Obviously didn’tAnybody who uses ‘of’ instead of ‘have’, i.e. ‘I should have listened at school’. It really irritates me.

There’s almost 50 yrs between the periods when the words Wicked and Awesome were ‘fashionable’ scary isn’t it?
When I was a child the teacher frequently ridiculed the ‘Left handers’ and daily threw the blackboard rubber ( 250g) at kids who failed to answer questions correctly.... it must have been a good school as it was approvedI had a chap pick at my spelling the other day as I wrote BSAC when I meant BASC but my dyslexia said bsac
Next they will be smacking the left hand child with a ruler to use his right!
Exactly, and doubly so, since they really should have“Grassed a buck”
What gets on my wick is grown men asking what "socks to buy for stalking"Folks getting up tight about incorrect terms ,even though they know full well what it means.
However
Saying “perms”
“Freezer filler”
“Grassed a buck”
Really gets up my nose

It’s funnyWhat gets on my wick is grown men asking what "socks to buy for stalking"
off shoot of that is by-passing all the years of field craft on fishing rabbits rats then can't grasp why stalking can be so difficult and this deer has 2 livers![]()
Quite, I use Asda Trousers and B&Q sticks lead amaoIt’s funny
The oldest stalker I know wouldn’t dream of buying Harkila trousers or a blaser or even copper ammunition.
He did it professionally for 20 years as an outfitter in kintyre too and put thousands of deer into larders.
He only wore stalking “kit” to make clients feel like it was more the real thing
Normally he’s in jeans and wellies

People getting their knickers in a twist about heads vs bulletsheads when they mean bullets.
Really means its a 2moa rifle and they don't understand probability.It will shoot 1 MOA if I do my bit.
Like it's going to shoot 1 MOA if you don't bother trying!![]()
I fully understand why. Using the term 'Heads' when they mean 'Bullets' is just wilful ignorance, whether everyone knows what they mean or not. It isn't rocket science to just use the correct word.People getting their knickers in a twist about heads vs bullets
There are a number of adverts with "heads" for sale, which does not stop people buying them and the blessing is people who object to that term will have their comment removed, again adding to the point people will buy them without objecting to what they are called.I fully understand why. Using the term 'Heads' when they mean 'Bullets' is just wilful ignorance, whether everyone knows what they mean or not. It isn't rocket science to just use the correct word.
But then, some seem to take great delight in trying to make their ignorance a virtue
