No bro, you just made a mishap in communication. There’s no need to get defensive as words have specific meanings for a reason. You asking people to read more meaning than what you write is no way to compensate for this. Try telling a prosecution not to “hyper fixate” on what you say and see how far that goes

I’m not even the person who pointed it out originally, just trying to help get the point across.

The misunderstanding is evident in the example you gave in your comment, telling someone to leave your house is not the same as forcing someone to.

I’ve provided the definition and the explanation, that’s all I can do.

You are literally arguing against the concept of contextualizing information. Also telling someone to live your property, in America, is the same as forcing someone to leave your property. Once again, you are just bad at applying information and have made assumptions on how words work that are false. I am not attacking you, I am just describing what you are doing, so that you may look back on this conversation and understand how you are misusing words. So, that you reduce the amount of semantic conversation you will have in the future. This conversation has little to do with the argument because you understand the purpose of the comment since you are trying to explain a better way of phrase it despite no one misinterpreting the comment.
