So you also don't understand that when the term is being used in common
language it's a metaphor, not a literal reference to the physical
process in quantum mechanics.
Not realizing that much of natural language is metaphorical is a reason
for many of these peeves. The people who think that "decimate" can only
refer to killing 90% of the population don't understand that it long ago
lost its original Latin meaning, and just adopted the metaphorical
meaning of killing large numbers.

The odd thing about English is that it's the only major language without an official regulator. No dictionary, style guide, thesaurus, or grammar textbook is official or authoritative. It's just an opinion. No body has the authority to decide for the rest of us what is and isn't correct meaning and usage. We all make those decisions together and they change over time. -- K.

The one that bugs me is "by and large," an order given to a helmsman to steer with the wind behind him but not directly behind him (lest the mainsail empty other sails). When I was a teen, it became a popular way for academics to fudge their statements.

Well, 'rules' may be putting it a bit too strong. Generally acceptable guidelines to which there are innumerable exceptions would, perhaps, be more accurate. -- 'The gods,' he said.
