Just a quick reminder that dictionaries are descriptive, they document existing language use rather than set down rules.
If enough people break an existing rule often enough, it makes it into dictionaries. Just ask anyone who doesn’t think that “ironic” should mean “coincidental”.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills…
Seems like you doubled down on an ignorant statement when you were provided context.
You could have cut bait and kept your mouth shut, but I bet you feel a lot better having tried to shore up a bad position instead of just taking on the new information and moving on.

Literally the only things in common between the two are firearms, humans being involved, and them both taking place on the planet Earth.
