Look, you can continue to use the term if you want, nobody's going to arrest you for it, but don't act surprised when people try to correct you if you do.
That's the thing though. Everyone knows exactly what I mean.
It's like if I said "the silenced pistol you get in Citadel DLC" and you came back to say "actually it's called the M-11 Suppressor and silencers aren't actually a real thing".

Sure we do, but we assume you don't know how to spell because the word you're using hasn't been recorded in literature for over 200 years.

Not a valid comparison at all, "the silenced pistol you get in the Citadel DLC" is a vague description and "actually it's called the M-11 Suppressor" is a specific description. They are not mutually exclusive, and neither is linguistically obsolete, whereas you are using a variation of a common term that hasn't been widely used since around the time of the industrial revolution.
Again, it is not a crime, keep using it if you want, but people are going to be grammar nazis about it going forward because it's so uncommon it sounds like a misspelling.
It's an irrelevant correction though because it does not lead to increased understanding.
If someone said they visited Versailles when they were in Paris it would be correct for me to say that Versailles sits outside the city and that you actually went to another city; but also utterly pedantic.
Fewer vs Less
Alot vs a lot vs allot
To vs two vs too
All examples of "sure you corrected a person, but added virtually nothing to the conversation". Something I had to learn as an autistic person; some corrections are just a distraction
It's sad that you see it that way, because from my perspective we've both learned more about the english language than we knew 20 minutes ago, and I can't see that as anything but a net gain.
I'm mostly confused that you felt the need to do it to two separate posts. Sure, one post for the correction is whatever; but twice is like "uhhh okay?".
Yeah but you would say that if you're a man with certain preferences? I enjoyed the romance options as femshep probs far more than if I played as maleshep since i'm a woman
