People don't just get to say whatever they like regardless of whether it's true or makes any sense and then, when their idiocy is pointed out, accuse the people correcting them of being pedantic. FFS, that's so incredibly obnoxious.

Sounds like those people who could use some education as to what the true definition of "arguing semantics" actually is.
