Someone's in a really pedantic mood today. The real life use of the expression contradicts your personal definition (try googling it and tell me what you come up with). It is widely used in reporting and accepted by everyone who's not in the mood to argue personal definitions.
Then again... Schrodinger's outage. Until everyone checks some people are not affected. Hence, never global. Right?
But honestly now, are you upset because of the semantics or because of the flatearther joke? ;)

- skj 8y agoThe fact that your top comment got flagged is a good indication. If you had stuck to just the topic there would be nothing to criticize. Unfortunately I can't look up your exact phrasing anymore, but it struck me as quite rude and, well, flamebait-y. Hence, this thread.
