You can argue that all laypeople should use the terms that specialists use, or you can accept that people use words differently and try to understand people when they write/speak.
The latter is far, far easier and actually achievable.
- sievebrain 8y agoThis is the first time I've encountered people using the word monopoly incorrectly like this. I'm not really minded to just roll over and accept wrong usage because a few other people object - the usage is wrong so they need to improve their English. Also for what it's worth I don't believe the article author misunderstands the word monopoly. I think they abused it to get clicks.
