Hmmm, is this being too prescriptive? Don't we all know what is meant?

Sure i know what's meant but what's meant isn't what it says.

Yes, but. I've said that many times here about sentences and phrases and have gotten 25 lashes with the wet noodle (metaphorically!) from the likes of you and Goofy saying I was being too prescriptive. You can't have it both ways, can you?

You must know what I'm going to say next. I've said it often enough.
<Hint: hobgoblin>

Anyway, no one says you can't find something funny even when you know what was intended. In this case the disconnect had me laughing out loud.
