i dont value highly precise language in day-to-day situations. i opt for simple, ambiguous language. despite how much we want to be as accurate as possible to reduce misunderstanding, i find that most individuals deal with enough ambiguity in their lives that choosing the simpler, slightly less accurate term or phrase is often more useful for helping communicate the overall message. and, in the case they dont understand, i hope that theyll ask for clarification. yes, im including autistic and neurodivergent individuals since thats usually all i ever talk with anyway lmao
