    Nitpicking as in “pointless”. Making the rest of your pedantry even more pointless. I’m ok with people beginning to call the Federal government “the Fed”, because most of us are intelligent enough to differentiate based on context.

      They aren’t beginning to, and being okay with people calling things whatever they want isn’t the point. You can call a shoe a turd holster if you want, but that doesn’t mean people will know what you mean nor would that make them any less intelligent for not understanding what you mean.
