There is no wrong use of language; there's just people who don't bother to communicate well in the most effective language available. In this case you could simply cohere the two viewpoints since you have insight rather than blaming one party and calling them wrong (...which is wrong).

- debit-freak 2y agoI don't think that's a serious barrier in this case. The above poster just would rather dismiss a statement rather than give it serious thought. It's easier to simply claim to know the one true meaning of "simple" rather than actually communicate effectively.

- debit-freak 2y ago> what's more effective than having a pre-defined term be what it means, rather than what the speaker intends internally? Trying to understand the speaker, presumably, and not wielding your pet definition like a semantic argument. It's fundamentally boring conversation with no benefit to either party and it makes you look like an illiterate ass.
