I appreciate 57ChevyFI's attempt to get people to communicate clearly and accurately. Using the proper word is a good start. Indeed, robbery is not the same as larceny. If the garage door is open, should it still be called a "break in"?
In my experience, however, such efforts are basically unproductive.
These are casual posts here, not term papers. So typos, misspellings, improper grammar, logical errors, and so forth are common. Sometimes they make me laugh. Other times I'm appalled at how many people don't seem to know the difference between there, their, and they're.
But it is what it is. Life is short. Don't worry about it.
