But it is pedantry because the person you were having a conversation with was using imprecise terminology and you were disagreeing with the words as written instead of the words as intended. Fine, they used the wrong words. Their meaning was clear. I think having the conversation is good as long as we can extend a little leeway to people that don't always have the correct terminology for a particular discussion.
