Yeah, I took that and fixed it for him. Should I also point out how I initially thought he meant take a pill and not catch a virus? Your pointing out the obvious doesn't make his initial statement any less sillier. I deliberately took his niceness to mean goodness, since it defied his own context so badly and it was, really, a way too simplistic thing to say for me to take seriously. And yet I take this particular user seriously, most of the times. He seems to me to be a tentative copy of Minimalist, but that's both why I do take him seriously and why, sometimes, I do not - but that's beside the point.
It seems more like a subtle appeal to the subject of relativism, but what do I know?
Let us hope that next time you look up a word before you take issue with its usage.
