Ha. Well, let's just say I don't enjoy discussing things with people if we are gonna just use the same words without agreeing on what they mean when we use them. I think it is worth the time to figure it out. Nowadays, you have to do it with every individual. These words have become too equivocal, and using them is pointless if the person to whom you are speaking doesn't share the meaning they represent.
I also provided a point of reference: "Some things' existences are contingent/conditional upon the existence of some other thing."
Look, I get it, coming to common ground on the meanings of the words we use to have a discussion is boring and tedious, but since I care about actually understanding what another person is trying to say, it seems worth it.
