Honest question about spelling

[Detroitammoco]

I am not new to reloading. With that said, is there something I am missing about "boolits" vs "bullets"? Is this some sort of inside joke I am late to? Is this to get around text filters by employers/government? Some neckbeard version of leet-speak? Something else entirely?
Really, an honest question. Thanks!

I almost didn't graduate from high school because of English class.

I think MPA guy is right. That website is the definitive website on casting bullets. I think it is so popular, that it spawned the boolits thing. Just my .02.

Boolits are bullets that you cast yourself.
Bullets are those things you buy.

I thought you might be asking if "magazine" was spelled "CLIP".....LOL

I cast bullets, not boolits, and anyone who calls them that is a idiot. If you take pride in what you do, use proper terminology.
