You know many words can be used colloquially and not literally? Language is contextual and ever evolving.

I’d also be hesitant to call people out for sloppy language when you can’t be bothered to even capitalize stuff.

> language when you can’t be bothered to even capitalize stuff

language and orthography are two very different things (language preceded orthography by hundreds of thousands of years).

  • You must be a hoot at parties. Getting to pick and choose what you and everyone else around you should care about and how they define terms to fit exactly what’s important to just you.

    Orthography may be independent of language, but shockingly in society, it’s part of written language.

    • brother you were trying to "gotcha" me by saying my language is imprecise because i didn't capitalize. i'm pointing out that the two things have literally nothing to do with each other.
