proof of concept posted:actually they are and nobody gives a poo poo how a bunch of soldiers use the jargon of their profession to distinguish themselves from other soldiers when they're talking about soldier stuff to other soldiers so shut the gently caress up you weirdo they're not, though, because a soldier is by definition a member of the army, and marines are not part of the army.

proof of concept posted:sexy lady: "hey sailor" why would I say that when it's nonsensical? sailors are by definition members of the navy so if she calls me a sailor she's completely right. if she called me a marine, though, she'd be wrong, because while the marine corps is a subset of the navy I am not and never have been part of it.

I am honestly asking nobody's talking about soldiers, though. you're just using a word that means one thing to refer to something else and seem really weirdly averse to admitting to the error or even just tacitly accepting the correction and moving on.

TacticalUrbanHomo posted:I think it's weird to desperately try to make the conversation about something it's not about because you're terrified of conceding a simple error except if you look up the actual dictionary definition of soldier you will see that it's a perfectly acceptable term to use as the generic term for any member of the armed forces miriam webster posted:1 a : one engaged in military service and especially in the army So yeah the whole army thing is the subject of emphasis, not a definitional requirement, especially not in casual conversations where the distinction isn't actually important. So feel free to save your breath in the future when other people use the word soldier colloquially to refer to anyone who looks like a military person because it's actually not incorrect. e: checked around just for kicks, since dictionaries are hilariously political (Authority and American Usage is a good essay) dictionary.com posted:1. a person who serves in an army; a person engaged in military service. So, a parallel definition, not even necessarily emphasizing the army part depending on its use American Heritage dictionary posted:1. One who serves in an army. aah here we are, this is the dictionary for you proof of concept fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Oct 17, 2015 |

so two out of three of the definitions you chose correctly define the word as someone who is part of an army. the marine corps is not part of the army. I'm glad you were able to clear this up for yourself.

like any obsession with institutions of order, people obsessed with the military often become fixated on definitions of lingo that refer to anything military, any deviation by the common folk, despite being a valid colloquial reference, will trigger the trigger to end all triggers. A SNAFU, if you will. Just FUBAR.

THIS IS WRONG YOU ARE WRONG!!!" - tactical urban homo actually that's fine because he's obviously not using the term to identify literal soldiers, or rather not using it to misidentify marines as literal soldiers. once again it's really weird how upset you're getting over having a perfectly understandable error corrected.
