    I feel like dictionaries are over rated as a form, since they lead to nit-picky comments like this :P

      I don’t know, I don’t like throwing dictionary definitions around in arguments as if they carried any authority, but in this case those two phrases mean very different things. I genuinely misunderstood what the OP meant. I think if people don’t understand what you mean it’s not really nitpicking.
