Someone’s trying to point out to their community how much we’re all getting fucked by this. It seems sort of crazy that your focus was that their chosen language didn’t seem designed to target and cater to you specifically.
It makes you come across as someone who feels like only people who act and speak like you do matter. It seems like racist bullshit. They like laughing at slight variations in language too.
That’s how you sound. Yes. Racist. There’s nothing to argue about. I’m not guessing. I’m letting you know. You sound racist. You want to take a guess which group in the US most commonly uses “billy” as a slang term for billion?
And your response to seeing it was “fuck you entirely” and “gross, dude.”
Then you want to whip out “obfuscates.” Do you really need someone to point out that obfuscates is a word that’s going to confuse more people than “billy”? You understood the point, you just decided to ignore it and whine about the slang language used.

Not even close. Message is obviously sound - look where we are and I made no specific mention alluding to what you perceived.
The language his the message entirely. Also odd to bury Walmart behind a “billy” when they are 5x the problem of the top mentioned billion.
