Do you understand ballistics? Once that projectile leaves the muzzle, the shooter no longer has control of it. It therefore, behooves the shooter/writer to be as clear and concise as possible to prevent those whose limitations, such as yourself, from getting it wrong, misconstruing, or just flat out not understanding what was written.
Just because YOU don't think it matters does not mean that it matters not. I take words fairly serious as a rule. I know I am not alone in this. You seem to think that a writer bears little, if any, responsibility for they represent by what they write.
Why do you keep doing caps every time you type the word ASSume? Can I assume YOU ASSume you are being clever?
For someone who thinks words are as important as a gun shot...
BTW do YOU understand ballistics? lol seriously...the person shooting a gun has complete control of where the bullet is going...it's going where you pointed the gun and fired. You can't control velocity. You kind of miss the point of a gun.
And, therefore, i can see where you would think words are just as important. It was ignorant YOU ASSuming you knew.
Btw i never said i thought the posts should be deleted, i just think it's extremely over dramatic to say words are a like a gun. I'm rubber and your glue, so now you have words stuck to you! And they were stuck fast. Like they hit you like a bullet. But because i aimed i couldn't control the bullet so i shot and it bounced all over and then hit you, because i don't understand ballistics.

14 snakes, 12 bugs, 1 skink, 1 frog, 2 dogs, and tons of fresh and saltwater fish. I've also begun snake rescue. What a ride!
