I know it's not advocated and I'm sure the mods all do their level best to stop it, but it happens, and fairly often.
That's why I don't worry much about terminology unless it's something that can be dangerous.
I don't care if it's a "clip" or a "magazine". I don't generally care if someone says "caliber" when I know that they mean "cartridge".
What I'm saying is that maybe we should think a bit about why we're so caught up in terminology. Yes, there are very good reasons to be particular at certain times. Other times, regardless of intentions, it comes across as a great big "You're an idiot and I know more than you do."
That's why we have to be careful.
