If anyone’s interested in my bits of wisdom, I’ll leave you with a few.

For your information, not many people are. Seldom do adults desire or appreciate correction from total strangers.

It is not advisable, James, to venture unsolicited opinions. You should spare yourself the embarrassing discovery of their exact value to your listener.

Enough, HKSW is correct, we have managed to throughly highjack Justang's thread. If you want to discuss it further then I suggest you post your own thread. For myself, I am done.

I didn't really mind alpha's nitpick on grammar; I tend to do that myself, but less often these days.

I was just having a bit of fun. How about you guys?

I think all in all, that this has been a pretty good-natured thread. Nice of the original poster to come defend his/her post, too. Doesn't seem as trollish as I originally thought.

Thank goodness my 6th grade English teacher is here...Who the hell cares? Everyone knows what he meant.

LOL! People, huh?

Although I too understood what was meant by "clean the barrel good", I have to disagree that the correction of the grammer was not in order. I do agree that it could have been done more diplomatically.

Very well... I hereby diplomatically request that you look up the word "grammar."

I think the whole thing has been amusing. That was the entire purpose of it. In all seriousness though, effective communication is important. I don't have the figures on the percentage of people in the U.S. who are functionally illiterate, but I can recall discussing it in a sociology class and being shocked by the number. Business Communication classes are extremely important in college today. Employers are complaining that recently hired college graduates can't communicate effectively, thanks in large part to email and text messaging.

So what is it that you have to say about putting a .40 S&W in a .45 ACP chambered handgun?

OK folks - thread drifted off a long time ago - and pretty much ''lost it''!

Grammar has had one heck of a good airing - and that will suffice.
