Yeah Bud, we all have different definitions for words in our heads that are based on our individual understanding and experience of reality - we have things like dictionaries to establish an agreed upon definition but few people actually know those definitions, they just have a functional understanding of what words mean.

We just pretend we all actually are operating with the Merriam-Webster definitions bc it's easier.

Words are just to convey ideas - if you can pickup what someone means contextually but you choose to ignore that and focus on incorrect word use, you've missed the point of communication

I suggest you reread my comment, taking into consideration whether that is logically even possible in this case with the breadth of meanings attributes to this particular symbol.

>if you can pickup what someone means contextually

and

> you've missed the point of communication

If you missed the mark, would you necessarily be able to know?
