random: but it's spelled 'TACK' sharp, not 'TACT' sharp (correct?)

Oh crop, the Engrish poelice

we have threads once in while where English police gathers.

I need a tact sharp lense to compliment my gear.
Not being the police... English is not even my native language... its ( )just funny.

capitalization and punctuation i dont need no stinking capitalization and punctuation it serves no purpose and i cant be bothered to put it in my posts because it takes too long and is just a waste of my time and huge brain paragraphs too are a waste that serve no purpose paragraphs too but my grammar and spelling are freakin perfect so dont give me a hard time about my capitalization punctuation and paragraphs okay like youre so much better than me anyway youre not you know youre just as bad and make mistakes too sometimes bigger mistakes than me sometimes other times not so big but still mistakes so dont give me a hard time okay i am doing the best i can but dont want to waste my time and big brain on little things like periods commas question marks apostrophes and that sort of stuff or paragraphs either okay using the shift key is a waste of my big brain too so why use it i dont want to use it so i wont i often hit the caps lock key by mistake anyway then it really looks weird and screwed up so its better if i dont use the shift key at all and you can just read my stuff anyway its not so hard as you say it is to understand either you know just read it and stop giving me a hard time okay

And since when did we become collectors adding new stuff to our "lens collections"? I was under the impression we were photographers and our lenses were one of the tools we use to make photographs. An important tool, but a tool none-the-less. To me a collection implies stuff sitting on a shelf collecting dust, too valuable to use. Get over it. It's just a lens. Use it to take photos, the purpose for which it was made.

good god, i hope this was sarcastic.

i have a collection of lenses at my disposal. i have a collection of ties that i wear. i have a collection of jokes that i use at parties.

if you think it implies stuff sitting on a shelf collecting dust, too valuable to use.. maybe you need to get over it.

Yes. I agree this is good use of the word, "collection." However, I think there is a general perception that does exist that many individuals also enjoy collecting lensi (plural of lens - lol) for reasons beyond the mere use of them as a tool. Each individual Collector might have a different reason for 'collecting' them. For aesthetic appeal. For bragging rights, etc...

How much for the collection of party jokes? I'd like to upgrade my arsenal, funny thing is people don't ever seem to laugh at a joke twice...or not funny thing rather.

These are free, just for you TuanTime. A ton more in the Joke thread.

Are you sure it's not meant to be 'pin sharp' . . .

Good point...tacks are sharp, but pins and needles are a lot sharper. We need poke-your-eyes-out pin sharp lenses, not those dull ol' "tack" sharp ones.

I'm still waiting for the general population to learn the word its, which is not interchangeable with it's.

How about alot? It is two words, a lot.

The internet has really made it apparent what a poor job our schools are doing...

How about "shuttle count?" I have seen that so many times...unless I am missing something is it not "shutter count?"
