I've always wanted to go to a gun store and ask for a clip, actually meaning a clip. The people there would think I was ignorant, and then I would surprise them when they pull out a magazine and I correct them! HA!

@hnobleh The correct term is automobile . a car is pulled behind a train .

and clip is a synonym for detachable box magazine - dictionaries say so . this is the 21st century , American English is constantly evolving , take a chill pill and get over it .

If I walked into a gunstore and asked for a clip and recieved this kind of attitude, I would about face and take my money elsewhere.

clips feed magazines, magazines feed firearms.

lol! :D was the end on purpose? " it's not a magazine it's a clip "

@breezebro You speak the unfortunate and sad truth. :(

[breezebro]

@gymkhanadog Except on youtube, telling the truth, even nicely, frequently will get you blocked.

@breezebro I correct people all the time in my industry (IT) and most of the time they thank me, or use the right terminology next time so they can better explain what they want or what is happening.

Calling them stupid would indeed be downright dumb, but there's nothing worse than someone who is so passive that they'll just sigh, roll their eyes and let anything go without challenge or correction. That just breeds more ignorance in the world and today's society needs all the help it can get.

[gymkhanadog]

@BrooklynXT1 But when people don't know or understand the difference, or are legitimately too ignorant to use proper terminology, they should be gently corrected. It isn't specific to guns. I have to deal with people all day, every day, that don't know basic computer terminology. NO, that thing you see the pictures on is NOT a computer, it's your monitor.

When we lose the ability to even speak properly or refuse to learn, we come one step closer to reverting back to stupid animals slinging poo.

@BrooklynXT1 We all have to. A sailor has to relax when a landlubber calls his ship a boat. I have a computer business and customers call most things by the wrong name. I can tell them how stupid they are and lose a customer, ignore it and do something they didn't expect to their computer, or nicely explain to them what they are saying and gain a customer that likes to come to me with their computer problems.

If you want to make money in a business you better learn to suck it up.

[BrooklynXT1]

@breezebro I guess they should suck it up?

[BrooklynXT1]

It is slang, people in this generation and there guns. *Shakes head* XD
