    Yes, which is why the appropriate response to someone pointing out the discrepancy is “you’re right, I may or may not care enough to do something about my own casual usage of the language” not being a condescending ass linking a definition that everyone knows because that wasn’t the point of bringing it up.

      the appropriate response to someone pointing out the discrepancy is “you’re right, I may or may not care enough to do something about my own casual usage of the language” shut the fuck up we all know what’s meant here

      If this is true:

      linking a definition that everyone knows

      Then they already knew they’re being a pedantic jackass and wanted to do it anyway. The correct response to a person like that is dismissal, as they’re providing nothing to the conversation.
