It is important to not forget, that natural language do not work like programming languages. They are not clear and precisely defined. Context matters a lot. And allmost no 2 people define one given word exactly the same.
So I do have my trigger words, too, where I try for people to use them in the right way, but it is pretty much an uphill battle and in my experience usually not worth the time fighting it. Just accepting that words have different meanings for different persons ... and most importantly - go out of discussions, when it is not about the topic anymore, but people fighting over the meaning of words.
