    Let’s be real, it is a valid correction that was prefaced as “Pedantic nitpick”, so it’s odd to see you continue calling it one as it had been established at the onset. Seeing how you take this correction and double down on it shows that it was a good one to make, as it seems that you remain confused as to what “the Fed” refers to for one reason or another.

    You are mistaken, and that’s not such a bad thing. I enjoy being (correctly) corrected because I would rather know the moment I utter something incorrect, than go around being incorrect to everyone I know.

      Nitpicking as in “pointless”. Making the rest of your pedantry even more pointless. I’m ok with people beginning to call the Federal government “the Fed”, because most of us are intelligent enough to differentiate based on context.

        They aren’t beginning to, and being okay with people calling things whatever they want isn’t the point. You can call a shoe a turd holster if you want, but that doesn’t mean people will know what you mean nor would that make them any less intelligent for not understanding what you mean.
