But that's the entire point!

>if OP is just living here on a tourist visa and doesn’t have any form of residency at all, and (s)he’s still following the rules as established

No, I don't think they are. I think if you're _living_ here on a tourist visa, that's very much "abusing the visa".

It’s not the point. If you’re following the rules, you can call it whatever you like. If you’re not following the rules, then it’s at least ironic that you’d be calling for defense of the rules.

It’s a weirdly motivated form of pedantry to get snarky at someone for using the word “living” when you know nothing about their situation. It’s almost like you’re looking for a reason to be upset.
