Uh, my argument is that my eyes see no devils yonder. If you’d like to know why, I guess, have a look at 1-a.
I should have pulled up a dictionary to begin with, honestly. I just thought I was arguing from a more colloquial standpoint. Which I would still defend; I love slang.
So you’re making some strange argument for some reason, and providing evidence to support your claims that actually show evidence to support my claims, but you want me to ignore that part.
And I’m saying 1-b is so strongly universal in English speaking countries that it should probably swap places with 1-a. Arguing against this feels pretty nitpicky to be honest. Look at the ratio of people who agree with the top level comment, e.g. 🤷♂️
I’ll concede your argument might not be “strange”—that was a poor choice of word—but you are openly ignoring counter arguments which feels strange. And saying things like “I don’t speak Latin” out of nowhere in the middle of argumentation, like that’s a counter argument.
This whole correspondence just feels like I’m talking to a character from Alice in Wonderland.
Alright, mate.
Then I don’t understand what you’re argument is. You know the connotation people have, you know the origins of the word… 🤷♂️

Are we ignoring 1-b?
🤷♂️
I mean, I was hoping to, yeah.
I don’t much care about 2 or 3 either.

Let’s wrap this up shall we. 🙄
The strange argument is that they meant to use definition 1-a, and they did. It is a perfectly normal use of the word.
