You understood the point, did you not? Then don't be a fucking pedantic asshole about how people word things. Problem solved.

It's not being pedantic to point out that words have meanings. If you say "I'm allowed to do X" how the hell is anyone supposed to know what you really mean is "doing X is normal?"

This is another things that's become normal that I hate. People saying any old crap and insisting that it means something other than what it usually means. And expecting everyone to know what they mean despite that.

So the meaning of words is a minor detail (assuming that's the definition you were going for)?

In other words, it's TOTALLY OBVIOUS what you meant, even though you said something different?

Sorry, but getting annoyed at someone for saying one thing when they meant something else isn't pedantry. It's normal.
