No, the pissing contest here is *me* not caring about correct terminology and a bunch of grammar cops trying to act like their opinion overrules my apathy.
If you didn't care about the terminology and you were truely apathetic than why did you put in the effort to look it up on wikipedia and try to correct him on the terminology?
Your response:
Turning is every bit as inaccurate as lathing. It's a garbage baby word meant to communicate with simpletons. The actual machining operations possible on a lathe are cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation. The procedure being discussed, if it's called anything, is cutting.
Wikipedia definition for a lathe:
lathe (pronounced /ˈleɪð/) is a machine tool which spins a block of material to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation
Seems like a lot of effort for an apathetic person.
Also its not a grammer issue either, its a spreading of misinformation issue. I know alot of people don't think its a big deal because they aren't in the machining industry, but what you said is no different than someone calling a supercharger a turbo than defending why its not actually a supercharger and proclaiming they have a degree in forced induction. Everyone on this site would bust balls for that.
