Subdeacon Joe Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Well, maybe the writer is very old school. After all, gonnes were also known as "bombards." And to bombard someone or something is to attack with artillery or bombers. Mortar shells are also called mortar bombs. It can sort of make sense. On the other hand, like as not the writer doesn't know a hawk from a handsaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I have had the opportunity to be interviewed by the brain trust known as television media. The ones I have encountered were barely smart enough to dress themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Once the local news media was heralding the arrival of one of our Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, and Makeup Mary sitting at the anchor desk mentioned that it had 6,000 troops on board. I wasn't aware that Army infantrymen were operating Navy ships now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
