Funfact if something gets confused frequently it means you are infact the one in the wrong.
Language has one goal to convey meaning. If you have to explain pictographs then fundamentally they have failed to do their job or you have failed in using them correctly.
It could just be an audience problem. Teenagers have a whole lingo I am not privy to. Does that mean they are wrong? I probably know more words than the average teenager. Does that mean I’m using them wrong? A lack of knowledge from one party or both can lead to miscommunication. That doesn’t automatically mean someone is wrong. I used to use the term POS in the early days of my Internet use. It meant parent over shoulder so that my friends knew why if I was acting differently all of a sudden. My parents thought I was calling them a piece of shit or referencing point of sale. The former was just funny and the latter was a bit silly. They figured they were just missing something, but it didn’t mean they were using POS wrong. They just lacked the knowledge on one use for a different age group.
