Sheesh, Yes, I was “very much” indeed fishing for a couple of days and comeback and find “Charlie” as a topic! No offense taken, I understand some of the challenges others partake!
Tubber, you ever heard of a place called "Vernon Army Camp"? I have spent many a night there and a few them drinking ‘Moose Milk’! Also, used to set up a ‘fly-in fish camp’ and I have done quite a bit of fishing in those “high lakes” in Northern Jasper! Therefore, I am familiar with your part of the world and guess I can really appreciate the term used "hoser", probably more than most other “Yanks”!
It could also, and might explain the referral to ‘The Elements of Style, which “I” personally will/would never be using as any kind reference! There would be many critics on that one! “… and the result is a nation of educated people who know they feel vaguely anxious and insecure whenever they write 'however' or 'than me' or 'was' or 'which,' but can’t tell you why.” “… referring to it as “the book that ate American’s brain”. (Professor Geoffrey Pullum, Edinburgh University) The ‘Boston Globe’s review in 2005 - ‘Frankenstrunk’, "aging zombie of a book ... a hodgepodge, its now-antiquated pet peeves jostling for space with 1970s taboos and 1990s computer advice.” Maybe you should give that one a “proper burial at sea”!

Since you mentioned, I very much consider information written on this or any “forum” to be colloquial and appropriate for casual, ordinary, and informal use. I don’t believe this to be any type of “formal” writings or literature, or they? If so, it is not correct to use ‘3”’, , ‘targetting’,’ hijack’, ‘3 pros ‘, ‘Gulf of Georgia’, ‘7" #50’, etc (just name a few) used by “you”. Should one start critiquing thinks of that nature as well?
Nevertheless, again… it would not be the first time I was wrong! I did not realize or know I was being critiqued on my glamour? I “promise”, I will try to do better. I just need know when one is going to be reading the replies or posts, prior to the analysis! Just to note - It is quite acceptable and common to use “quotation marks” to indicate or call attention words. If “anyone” were to check, there are many sources.
Oh… there is another quote! Whose house is of glasse, must not throw stones at another.
[1640 G. Herbert Outlandish Proverbs no. 196]
P.S. The last image, I "very much", stole from 'Nog'!
