I hope you're exaggerating. Some thought I was being touchy when I took offense at certain jokes and humor, but for you to be offended when I try to communicate with the people around me seems a little extreme.

Yes, I am offended when professionals do not use correct language. You forget that we are also in a position to educate. When I hear an official use incorrect terminology it sends up a red flag, telling me that this official may not be as well versed in the rules as he should be. I guess if you are going to talk the talk, then use the correct terminology.
