Who are these people of whom you speak so freely?

I do NOT use words in ways that I do NOT mean to use them unless I am uninformed as to the true meaning of a particular word.

For example, when I say the lake is dry, I actually mean there is no water in the lake. I am not saying that there may be some water somewhere in this lake. Had I wanted to say there was water in the lake, I would have said so.

Have you ever seen a food item bitten by a hot snake have no reaction to that bite? I have. I wonder if that was a dry bite? Sure seems to me it would be.

I will flat out say your above statement is inaccurate for those who actually speak the English language, not just throw words out to impress those who know no better.
