Except noone of substance is telling you anything is french silk caramel. Your whole position is based on a incorrect premise that is the result of what appears to be a false dichotomy.
If you're position is this detached from reality, it's no surprise you're being accused of being uneducated or something equally insulting.
Mmm, beg to differ. Your whole position is tedious and pedantic.
The whole debate is over the definition of a word so of course it's going to be pedantic. Lol I'm not even sure you understand what that words mean.
"OMG we're in a recession"
"Well, no not technically because the definition you are using is not the actual definition"
"OMG you're trying to tell me the economy is french silk caramel!"
"Uh that's not what they're saying"
It this is "pedantry" then surely you don't understand the term.
Tell me you don't understand language and simultaneously logic without telling me
You waited 12 days to respond with this garbage? lol I would have just moved on. It's like your desperate to remind everyone how dumb you are.
