Unfortunately, language often doesn't work like that.
I'm using the term informally.

- compiler-guy 8y agoThe issue isn't if the distinction is justified, or makes sense. Clearly it does. The issue is that language usage is often conversational and informal, and people often don't make the distinction the GP wants them to make. Insisting that they do is a losing game.
