Always fun to have someone try to be a pedant when they don't actually know the meaning of a word.

It's fun that this one is "word".

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/word > Definition 2 a/b/c are clearly the contextually-relevant definitions

https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/word > Second most popular synonym: "phrase".

Next time when you try to be a pedant, come prepared. Not only is it not wanted, you're not even correct.

If that's your idea of fun you need to get out (more).
I mean, was your pedantry that they are responding to fun? I found theirs a bit more amusing as well.
Great way to concede the point by failing to address my response.
