Just because you’re right it doesn’t mean I like it! /jk

lol genuinely that's what 80% of the disagreement replies are like on here/reddit. Obstinate children and trolls everywhere.

Literally just had a conversation even worse than this about the meaning of 'sect'. They thought it could only mean religous sects. As if people don't usually say, "religous sect" to specify which type.

Then they proceeded to pretend like I was still in the wrong when it was their lack of understanding of a basic word that made them think I said something I didn't.

Sadly, I'm starting to believe in that average reading level being so low...

Ironic considering the argument you're referencing boiled entirely down to you not being able to comprehend the wording on the definition which didn't even say what you claimed it to mean in your own link.

No, the argument boiled down to you failing to understand the basic fact that words have multiple meanings.

Now how about you grow up and actually look at a dictionary? https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sect

In fact, many sources have the more generic form as the first definition. https://www.wordnik.com/words/sect

Again, it is not my fault you do not know a definition of a word...
