Nice and thorough overview. :)
Margaret Killjoy is just a joy to read. Her hook for this article, an anecdote about arguing with a pedant on the train, is just such a good way to introduce the article.
I find it contradictory to first praise the imprecision of language but then go on to identify terms who’s imprecise use results in unproductive discussion and arguments. The author’s biases were on display and their definitions were fairly imprecise to boot imo.
