It's not semantics or nitpicking.. it's a fact. It's literally the Oxford dictionary definition of recession. It may not be a severe recession. It may not affect our quality of life all that much. Media may be blowing it out of proportion. It's not my goal to argue either way (I'm honestly not qualified to do so and it seems most experts don't know yet). But saying "it isn't really happening" is just false. We don't get to just redefine words based on our feelings.
