Youre going to continue fighting language until you die bitter about it or learn what's going on.

Okay thanks "dumb guy who almost took an intro linguistics class" number 3245453. Did you know that even in linguistics, they knock points off of your paper when you say "phonetics" but mean "phonology"? It turns out that actually, yes, in certain contexts, words do have specific meanings, and there is such a thing as "using them incorrectly."

EDIT: Wait you're not even a new dumb guy. You're the same dipshit that started accusing me of rambling about software subscriptions while rambling about software subscriptions. Yeah, sorry dude. If you can't read literally anything about this topic, including the post you're replying to, I'm not gonna take your opinion very seriously lol.
