Keith: You want to talk about various languages, you need to come to Houston and let me take you around. At a McDonald's a young girl waited on me and I could not understand what she was saying. I had to ask for someone else to help me.

Spanish is spelled absolutely phonetically. However, both names are Aguirre y Aranzabal are Basque. So their correct pronunciation would be would be:

Aguirre = "A-ger-ray" (hard "g")

Aguirre = in Spanish it would be "A-gear-ray"


Aranzabal = "A-ran-tha-bal". Basque name "z" is pronounced as "th" - see pro golfer Olazábal

Correct, except that you did not give the "tha" the forceful accent it deserves. It is Aran-tha'-bal.

I have never heard anyone refer to either buttstock or forend wood on a gun as "furniture", but have known and used that term ever since I became interested in muzzleloaders.

The furniture on flintlocks, percussion guns, matchlocks, and wheellocks refers to the typically brass, iron, or pewter adornments such as patch boxes, escutcheons for barrel retaining wedges, and some purely decorative elements.

I don't want to get too hung up on trivial stuff like that, lest I start to sound like Dr. Wanker losing his shit over people calling action flats on a shotgun the "water table". On the other hand, I shake my head when I see someone showing firearms ignorance by referring to the frame of a double shotgun as the receiver. Bolt actions, pumps, and autoloaders all have receivers... but break open double shotguns don't.

BTW, thanks for the invitation to Houston John. But unfortunately, we don't have to travel to see evidence of the massive foreign invasion force occupying our nation, all thanks to Democrat politicians purposely preventing enforcement of our laws. Ever notice how just about all of these "poor" refugees has an $800 to $1100 I-phone and is somehoe able to


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Addendum to my previous post which was submitted prematurely while attempting to correct a typing error on my phone:

...these "poor" refugees are somehow able to afford $800 to $1100 I-phones, and $8.00 per pack cigarettes, and also somehow pay for mobile phone service... all while hard working taxpayers here are footing the bill to feed them and put them up in expensive hotels. It's hard to believe so many of my fellow citizens lack the courage to even say that this intentional illegal invasion is wrong.

If you speak Latin American Spanish, ie seseo and not ceceo where C and Z are pronounced as TH, can you correctly say ArranZabal rather than AranTHabal. Gets a bit complicated, no wonder people just say AyA.
