Always just a little amusing when a person struggles with the meaning of the word semantics. It isn't intrinsically negative to care about the meaning of words.
Sometimes it is plain that a person is capable of understanding only that life is like a box of chocolates. And that it is really too much for them to contemplate the existence of an alternate candy world of marzipan and sherbet.
This is no way for a person to plod their way to the respect they so clearly crave and so obviously envy.
