I used a word in a context with which you were unfamiliar. When you expressed confusion over the usage, I cited the Mirriam Webster dictionary definition that explains my usage. For any neurotypical person, the response to this would be something along the lines of “oh, I was unfamiliar with that usage. I understand what you mean now”. It should not have been any sort of argument. It’s a very plain, black and white fact. The word I used is a real word, the way I used it matches a common usage of the word, it’s backed up by a reputable dictionary of the English language. All facts.
For you, the response was to post multiple replies trying to tell me that I shouldn’t have used the word because you were unfamiliar with it. This is... not really a rational response. It is, however, exactly the sort of response one would expect from someone with Asperger syndrome. Autism spectrum disorders in general are frequently associated with issues with language acquisition and problems assimilating new information. From the Wikipedia article on Asperger syndrome, abridged to highlight the most relevant parts:
>Abnormalities include [...] literal interpretations and miscomprehension of nuance, [...] unusually pedantic, formal or idiosyncratic speechSo in addition to the fact that the definition of “tool” that I used is a perfectly valid definition (and pretty common usage, in my experience), the fact that you’re spending so much time and effort trying to argue against THAT fact indicates pretty strongly—although, to be clear, I have no training in psychology, so cannot give a formal diagnosis—that you legitimately have an autism-spectrum disorder.
