- dylan604 3y agoLook, it’s quite obvious you’re wanting to win the most pedantic user on the internet. If you are a private citizen, a local cop, or a federal agent, if you prevent me from going about my day to have a conversation that I don’t want to have under threat of not being allowed to do what I’m trying to do, you’ve detained me. Why you are hung up on this I have no idea. Personal pet peeve maybe, but having a conversation in the spirit of rather than the pedantry of will be much more productive.
