  • Angry really is not the word I would use to describe my irritation and puzzlement over this issue. You are right though, people are not interested in being correct most of time. After some decades or centuries the whole meaning of the word will eventually change. It has happened to lots of words.

    I never ever correct people unless they ask me to. It is really rude to do that.

    • Well unlike you people do not make a point to know the difference. This goes for everything be it politics, animals, anything.
