You mean besides the fact that the firing range safety officer is standing in front of the firing line?
'Your doing it wrong' should be "You're doing it wrong."

Even Third World firing range officers know it's "you're"!
ReplyDeleteCJ, you are today's teacher's pet. Your "grade" is 100+ with the "plus" being for all that extra credit you earned.
I had planned to mention the misspelled word to anyone who pointed out the safety officer is standing in front of the firing line -- and his "wrong" position if anyone pointed out the misspelled word. However, you noticed both. Good for you!
I thought it was actually a fun test, trying to carefully sort out which word was meant in each blank. I hope you had fun with it.
