You know, part of having to deal with people on a daily basis, is understanding their intent, and not dissecting their literal words, over what they are attempting to convey conceptually.
You might lower your stress and frustration a bit remembering that. Being right about the literal interpretation is great for negotiating contracts, and such, but not so great for open internet discussions. "Being right or correct", doesn't always mean that your are justified in your indignation. I get it, I work with a lot of engineers (hell, I am one). But, I've seen many an engineer that justified burning their own house down (and their careers) in the pursuit of "being right" over showing some moderate competency in the use of soft skills, to understand when "being right" isn't a hill worth dying on. A subtle correction in defined terms, while also stating (in the correct terms) what they are attempting to say, goes a long way to educating your fellow man, while also still demonstrating a firm and defined grasp of the topic. That gets respect, rather than the other path, which garners derision and contempt, regardless if you're correct or not.
Take it for what it's worth.
