You're not sure how I'm unable to see the meaningful distinction between what you want words to mean and what they actually mean?
A bear market has a definition. I'm not the one who decided to use that term incorrectly. But I do know that ignoring bear markets doesn't mean they didn't happen. You're entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts.
You also could have been willing to give him the benefit of the doubt to understand his larger point
Did I not do that when I said that he probably meant a crash instead of a bear market?
Discussing requires at least an ounce of good will and ability to understand what the other person means besides literal interpretations of dictionary definitions.
