[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 5376070, member: 59506"] Yes, most of us do recognize that words get used in multiple ways. However, you are the one that has pointed out in numerous postings how proper word choice and terminology matters to you. You have even described yourself in postings on this site as being [I]picky [/I]about such things. I was simply responding to a post of yours, quite politely I might add, based on the words you chose (rather than reading into it, assuming alternate definitions, or using a looser interpretation), and then stating [I]my[/I] beliefs about the subject - something that I thought was the purpose of this site and this thread. When you responded to my post in a rather condescending manner, as if I should have known the difference between what you said and what you meant, I responded back both in kind and as politely as possible. You could have simply said you were using a looser interpretation of the word, and I would have completely understood. Instead you decided to take a lecturing approach, complete with a metaphorical object lesson. Quite honestly, I enjoy, appreciate, and highly respect your opinions on this site. You seem to be extremely educated and knowledgable concerning the things you post about. I also greatly appreciate your purposeful accuracy in the choice of words and language you use. I find it a breath of fresh air compared to the looser use of language that's the norm on this site and in this day's common usage. And quite frankly, based on your humor I find you rather Cool (to use an overused adjective). So to be honest, I find having you call me pedantic to be a bit hypocritical, and more than a bit dissapointing... [/QUOTE]
