seriously Remington?

[xtratoy]

I guess I should apply to Remington as a proof reader. You would think a multi million dollar company would try to get their terminology correct. This is from their web site.

I wouldn't be so foolish as to think such a thing...

"terminology"...Who is dying...?
Wait terminology , that is the study of terminals....like where the buses and planes end up at...
Not sure what that has to do with guns....

I do believe proof-reading is a dying science.


Does anybody else immediately think of Army housing when they read the word, billet?

Illiteracy is insidious, pervasive, rampant and increasing by the minute in our country. A people that cannot read or write properly (even in their own language) is easy to influence and control. Literacy is not protected by a Constitutional amendment: therefore it can be taken away by incremental steps with no challenges.

Examples are everywhere. (Some closer and more frequent than I might freely refer to in this venue.)

I figured so. The irony is, I looked it up before I typed it. It's kind've akin to the misuse lay and lie. To that I am guilty.

And don't get me started about dyeing my clothes.

Me too, just to make sure I wasn't an idiot. Jury's still out.

The funny thing is, he'll ever be remembered for that yet Biden uses some form of unknown language on a daily basis.

I used to be the proof reader from hell. I've backed off, as even when I write something on a forum, I find flaws later that cause me to continually edit my own posts.

Some years ago, I wrote a paper for my Wife while she was attending college. (Don't ask).

The teacher tore it to pieces with corrections. But my paper was correct. I couldn't very well go to the school and plead my case that the teacher was unfair and incorrect with the paper I wrote for submission by my Wife.

@WAYNO I had a similar experience. I proofed my wife's masters thesis and they kicked it back saying her formatting wasn't correct. They were encouraged to seek assistance with proofing so that wasn't the issue, the issue was that we used Chicago Turabian and not MLA. I sent an email to the department chair with an attachment of the universities thesis/dissertation guidelines for her department where it specifically specified Chicago or MLA. Simple response "good catch."

It's an honest mistake. The letter "d" and the letter "t" in the word "billet" are on the same keyboard.
