A lot of people use “pedophilia” to mean “sexual abuse of children” and “pedophile” or “pedo” to mean “sexual abuser of children”. (E.g., RMS’s infamous defense of “consensual pedophilia” which, merits of the intended sentiment to the side, isn’t even a coherent thing to defend or oppose except under the misuse of “pedophilia” to refer to an act and not an inclination.) |

I know and they are wrong. Words have meaning and it is difficult to communicate effectively if people use words incorrectly.
