Thanks holymoly your post 13 is the best I have ever seen on the Free Republic site that describes what the differences are between a magazine and a clip. It is one of the things that will tell me instantly how educated a person is when speaking about firearms. If the person uses the clip jargon I know that they are superficial in gun knowledge or ignorant (except when talking about true clip usage, as in the M1 Grand, etc). If the said person uses the term magazine correctly (when it comes to firearms) they take a step up in my eyes.

Thanks for the compliment. IIRC I made my little guide to clips and magazines a few years ago, in response to a similar thread here on FR. It still comes in handy, now and then.
