Little things bother me.
While
flailing about on the internet, I chanced upon a perfect example of this in the
form of an article about the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish seeking
conservation officers.
No,
conservation officers don’t bother me.
It
is the department of “game and fish” that gets me. The title is just wrong. A department of “fish and game” makes more
sense. It rolls off the tongue better. And, hello, “f” is before “g” in the
alphabet, so let us stick with that.
I am
proud to say we have a Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. That seems in proper order to me – alphabetical
order or not.
Sadly,
our immediate neighbors, Wyoming and North Dakota, also have departments of
game and fish.
You
might expect that from North Dakota.
But Wyoming?
