"There are NO multi-bullet magazines...." should be, "There are no multi-cartridge magazines"

"....a certain multi-bullet magazine." should be, "....a certain multi-cartridge magazine."

As an aside, your comment "....generally hollow point bullets means that are ready to shoot people...." infers an unsubstantiated and unwarranted guess as to why a person might own any particular type of bullets or ammunition loaded with a particular type of bullet. Furthermore, hollow point bullets are inanimate little things that do absolutely nothing by themselves without the assistance of a shellcase, primer and propellant powder, a launching device and a controller.

I copied what you wrote to me and to DesertRhino. I copied it as though you just said it so didn't put your writing in quotes so it would be clear which writing was yours. I find the whole process you went through interesting but not necessary, except to you.

My goodness, you really need reassurance of how fine you are. You see, putting your strict use of the language on a relaxed forum, rather than on an essay to be judged for exact usage of the English language, indicates to me you still have doubts about yourself so you keep proving it over and over so you will believe it yourself - some time in the future.

We are exchanging ideas in a pleasant manner and you are screwing that up, fellow.

Here are your two posts again so you can read them again and try to feel better about yourself, but if you are honest when you read them, you will see the arrogance you project to others. Here you go:

“There are NO multi-bullet magazines....” should be, “There are no multi-cartridge magazines”

“....a certain multi-bullet magazine.” should be, “....a certain multi-cartridge magazine.”

As an aside, your comment “....generally hollow point bullets means that are ready to shoot people....” infers an unsubstantiated and unwarranted guess as to why a person might own any particular type of bullets or ammunition loaded with a particular type of bullet. Furthermore, hollow point bullets are inanimate little things that do absolutely nothing by themselves without the assistance of a shellcase, primer and propellant powder, a launching device and a controller.


“Oh please spare us....” Us?
For whom are you speaking? Please provide names.

““look how smart i (sic) am”
You make the relative comparison quite easy.

“....while you are technically correct....”, But of course. Why would you adopt lower standards for yourself?

“....colloquially, people use “rounds”, “bullets”, and “cartridges” interchangably (sic) when referring to fixed ammunition.” No, educated and knowledgeable people do not confuse nouns. Is it your goal to dumb down folks on this forum to your level?

This forum has a free spelling checker. It is suggested that you use it.
