I wouldn't say it's unique, very common around here, but sure you can have the semantics debate if you want.

my point was I don't consider it a truck as it doesn't meet my needs for a truck.

I don't see how that wasn't obvious, you're being pedantic.

It's not pedantic. You were wrong. You said "it's not a truck" when you meant "It doesn't fit my needs". Those are not subtle distinctions. Language is often murky and meaning can shift over time and across different areas. This is not one of those times.

Sure I should have said "I don't consider it a truck". But that's very clear from my followup "nor do I consider the lightning a truck" that it's my personal opinion about the functionality that is missing, which I go into detail of what's missing in the same post.

It's being very pedantic.

> sure, you can have the semantics debate if you want

Helpful rule: Don't start a semantics debate and then complain that people are having a semantics debate with you.

They spawned one out of one sentence while ignoring the sentiment of the rest of my post.

You're defining what the word truck means.

I'm defining what it means to me.
