I get it too, you think you're very accepting and knowledgeable and a good person because you don't correct people.

It has nothing to do with being nerdy or smart, I'm an engineer and happen to have a specialized education in things like forces. Like anyone who has dedicated most of their life to something, they prefer people use the right words when talking about them, so that others reading it may learn the correct words and concepts. Maybe, just maybe, a freshman engineering student was reading this and now has learned the wrong concept.

I feel its important to convey information accurately, lest we end up in situations where all words kinda mean the same thing, so whats the point in differentiating between them..

I also like how you lumped me into a category of "nerds that constantly correct others". Also, please provide me with the 6 other words I could have used instead of nomenclature.. I'm intrigued.
