So, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with you will not put???? 
"that we must apply our own narrow view to everything, when we know for a fact that our view isn't universally accepted" Sure! Nobody's going to call me a liberal... "bull's-eye 1. n The small central circle on a target. b A shot that hits this circle. 2. Anything that precisely achieves a desired goal." And where else would you aim? OK, |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I see it much like a writer using an uncommon word that few readers know the meaning of. One thing that jumps off the page to me is seeing sentences ended with a preposition... ...but I don't see a need to be so fussy, fault-finding, and down-right persnickety (yikes, are only five percent of our readers going to bother to look that up? To you, my friend. |
I'll behave now! Just call me when it's time for supper...
) that we must apply our own narrow view* to everything, when we know for a fact that it our view isn't universally accepted, and that there are usually good, simple, often excellent reasons for groups to be pictured that are near but not on the AIMING POINT (I'm weary of your faction choosing the terminology--it's an aiming point, not necessarily a "bullseye." It depends on the type of competition or intended use of the firearm! 
)
