I'm happy to see that the trend is toward the use of the proper spelling of "bullets." Occasional use of slang or dialect terms is acceptable, so long as it's clear that this is the intent.

The Handloading and Reloading and Bullet Casting foums are technically oriented areas. It is not needful that all our posts take the tone of doctoral dissertations or scientific papers. However, it is easier for newcomers and occasional visitors to accept the validity of posts in which the writer shows respect for the reader.

TFL forums are not overseen by English Composition instructors. At the same time, it's nice to give a nod toward spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and grammar.

Thanks to all those who have been working to make this new subforum a success.
