Communication is not a one-player game.

For example, if I was being pedantic:

> nobody seems to care about using the right words in only this context.

"nobody" would include you.

And then I might complain about we use the word "weight" for something massless, or how "bugs me" is *ento*mologically incorrect: https://xkcd.com/1012/

This is of course not a good use of time. I wonder if illustrating the point about how language is dynamic and meanings are descriptive not proscriptive, was a good use?

We're not talking about standard code here. It's totally reasonable to change the meaning depending on context.
