I pay attention, but one can't keep up with everything. Usually, you can ask, and people are nice and helpful. There are exceptions HERE and there.

As for "the words" I see people use it here all the time.

and it's not bigoted:

The correct use of the term requires the elements of intolerance, irrationality, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs.

The term has evolved to refer to persons hostile to people of differing race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, and religion in modern English usage.

I used it as a descriptive term, with none of that present, except in your mind. I owned a gun, for a little while, and have shot guns. and a pretty good shot too. That really doesn't rise to intolerance, irrationality or animosity. unless one has a poor understanding of the definition of bigotry.

If you have such a problem with it, why don't you report it. I think threats can get you there just as quick.
