it's not a gotcha but people using words in ways others don't like. | ||

I can dislike word "bread" being used to represent edible produce made from (wheat) flour, yeast and water and insist that be called dough-nut (it looks just like a big nut made from dough), but I would be frequently misunderstood. This is why we standardize meaning of words, out them in a dictionary — so we can more effectively understand each other. | ||
