Haha, yea that's me! Actually I do value accuracy and precision in language, so in that respect I am a stickler. And clarity is very important.

I was just having a conversation about same-sex marriage with a young college student, for example. She consistently called the issue 'gay marriage,' which it isn't. The issue is not if gay people can or can not get married: every gay person is free to marry. The issue is if people of the same sex may marry each other.

The best way to clarity is to all know exactly what we are talking about.
