People who insist on deployant being the ‘ correct’ term. Plenty of people use deployment and everyone knows what is being referred to. Its like insisting that elevator is the the only correct term even thought many people use lift.
Disagree. ‘Elevator’ is the American term for what the UK calls a lift. The definition of ‘deployment’ has nothing whatsoever to do with ‘deployant,’ which I’m guessing has French origins. People might understand what they’re on about when they use the word in this game but to me it demonstrates a certain level of ignorance.
a sizable number of people use the term

Nucular instead of Nuclear.
I give credit to those who use "foldover buckle" because... it does, right?
‘Brand new’ and ‘vintage’ used in the same sentence.
Especially when there are scratches and obvious signs of wear all over the watch.
(in these cases NOS = Normal Old Specimen)
Watch collector perspective:
The warm glow of time and experience adorns this beautiful relic of the old west with well oiled and nurtured stock and beautiful patina about the receiver. The old trail dusty coloration only enhances the beauty of the barrel- a premium collectible.
Firearms collector perspective:
Stock and forend show significant wear and over-oiling, edges are soft and repair was made on the left side at the neck. Receiver shows 30% original finish and small repair above trigger. Barrel shows 40% blueing and surface rust. A modest survivor.
Periphial vision, realator, electorial college, sphinxter, sherbert......
Fully agree and they are good, intelligent people that follow their customs.
I also expect Optometrists to use "peripheral", a Gastroenterologist to use "sphincter" and a WIS to use "deployant".
We were asked what pet-peeves we have and I fully embrace that it may seem unfair or even wrong to others.
We are all good men.
Obviously, opinions are like sphinxters!
I wonder why this discrepancy exists. Is it because watches are overtly romantic while firearms are not?
Obviously it's not just on this forum, but it really pisses me off when someone says " I could care less"
Isn't that the same as saying "I couldn't care more"?
People who say "I could care less", when what they mean is " I couldn't care less"
