      I’m sorry for wanting things to mean what they mean

        It could easily be written in a longer statement such as “recalled for service” which is still 💯 accurate but the service is being done remotely instead of at a shop.

        There are just so many other things to give a shit about in even the realm of “words meaning what they mean” that it seems like a very random, stupid thing to get hot and bothered about.

        You’re probably one of those guys who has Twitter threads where you’re quoting Webster as an argument aren’t you?

          If it’s being done remotely it is not recalled, that’s my entire point.

          Most of my bother comes from how people are reacting with kneejerk appeals to the status quo instead of actually responding to what I (and others) wrote, think of me what you will
