How on earth anyone would think its spelled GLock is befuddling at best.

So, I'm befuddled. Possibly by the fact that all the letters are not the same SIZE and also that apparently when it comes to GLOCK some people can't (or won't) take a joke.

Of course, unlike a certain advertising campaign, I never claimed to be "Perfection".

Not all jokes are as funny as the teller might think; open mic night at a comedy club is a painful reminder of that.

That said, if you had stated, “I do it this way to poke fun of Glock and its fans”, I personally would have responded, “Okay”. When you instead say that people should look at the logo more closely and the logo isn’t the same as what you had been typing, then yes some people will point out the differences. Is that pedantic? Probably, but I can think of other past discussions on this forum that could also be argued to have been pedantic.

Yet THEY ARE. The letter you claim is a capital "L" is...... wait for it.....the exact same size as the "OCK".

They are ALL capital letters. The letter "G" encompassing the others. It's a LOGO. Logos are logos. And that logo isn't spelled "GLock".

Your claim was that only the "G" and "L" were caps.....its clear they aren't.

Oh please.
"But, but, but I was joking" is only applicable when actually making a joke. You weren't. You were either blind to the fact that "LOCK" in the logo are all the same size/font or you really think the brand is "GLock". Or you were purposely using "GLock" to be disparaging.

I suppose you think this is "OSiG"?

I think we've covered enough ground to satisfy the OP's curiosity.
