Higgite,

Badda bing, badda boom! A perfect slam dunk and an excellent response for which I have no intelligent, or funny, or stupid, or clever reply. Thanks.

Rottweiler,

Thanks for your comment on og(j)ive. You are a true Texan. I too am a Texas boy. I am unbelievably proud to be a Texan but you couldn't move me from Colorado for anything.

I guess I just don't give an "O-CRAP" how some of y'all says things, or fer that matter write things. In certain instances/areas, proper/perfect pronunciation, spelling, punctuation and grammar are very important, but on a reloading forum with a bunch o' anonymous fellers chewin' the cud, it jes don matter...

What can be considered offensive is the ones who believe it's their job to correct everyone's misspellings and mispronunciations...

Yes, we have the 'internet' don't we . I never know the correct pronunciation either for this word. Now I do, so I'll start it the proper way. Learn something every day!

Noylj,

Ojives or, pointed arches, are one of the changes in architecture that allowed architects/designers to build the very tall cathedrals in Europe.
