Does colquilisiams mean the same as colloquialisms? Just asking for a friend?

I realize that some get angry over being called out on spelling errors but honestly there are times when a post is hard to read because of poor spelling, grammar and punctuation errors. I would rather have someone pleasantly correct my errors so that I do not look like a dunce on a continual basis.

Yes I do realize that some here are from foreign lands and have problems with the English language. But would those people who are trying to get used to the English not want to learn the correct spelling of words they use on a daily basis.

Almost every day I see the word where used instead of were as in, We were there. I see the words advice and advise used interchangeably when they each have a separate meaning. I will advise you on giving advice to your neighbor.

There are others but I will stop there. Words, spelling and punctuation do make a difference.

Periodically this issue come up in the forum, and there are those who take a strong stance on an incorrect answer...so let's get it straight.
Lens look plural, but it is actually the singular form of a noun that means a curved transparent substance that people look through: it usually refers to the lens of glass, contacts, or camera.
The plural form of lens is lenses. Example: I have a 50mm lens along with several other lenses.
Hope this helps with clarification of its usage and spelling.

This is not an accurate statement, it depends greatly on the lens, the extender, and the camera body, I would gladly put my 300/mm with a 2X extender up against your 500mm.

Below is a substantial crop of an image of a Snowy Egret shot with the 300 and a 1.4x extender.

I will say that the OP needs to study extenders and make sure that they are compatible with the equipment he intends to use, too many people purchase extenders only to complain that they either don't work with their lenses or that their cameras won't autofocus with the extender because they did not understand the piece of equipment they were buying.
