[JWC]

And I guess it was hard to "grasp" the fact that he paid for it and he can call it a Jeep if he wants to.

I used to wheel with a guy that had a Land Rover Discovery II and he always referred to it as a "car". He never could grasp the fact that it was an SUV (or truck).

Ignorance is bliss and America caters to it.

The definition of a car is an automobile.

And I guess it was hard to "grasp" the fact that he paid for it and he can call it a Jeep if he wants to.

Sure. Like I said, ignorance is bliss and America caters to it.

Most people will these days.

I forgot, home made pictures overwrite the dictionary every time!

All I'm saying is it isn't an unforgivable sin to call a mag a clip, everyone knows what you are referring to.

That's not near as aggravating as snubbies, shotties, winnys, remmys etc.
Good grief we're talking firearms not yuppie type toys ..
