This is our fellow english speakers we're talking about. Unless you some how think everyone else is incapable of understanding some words can have multiple meanings then there is no concern. I for one am confident most people can understand that.

>You don't explain away misconceptions like that.

I've never had any problems. Maybe it is just your delivery?

>I will continue correcting people that make this mistake regardless of how much it annoys them to be wrong.

The thing is unless you believe English should be static(and as we've already discussed you clearly don't) it isn't them that is wrong it is you.
