Ah, misleading use of terminology that indicates one thing, but will win in court even if it actually means, or can later be said to mean, another.

I hope those involved in helping companies win these lawsuits choke on bones from food sold as boneless. Because that won a court case after "boneless" was redefined as a cooking method.

I don't want them to choke to death. Just a little lesson, you know?

I remember when unlimited minutes plans for cell phones meant 300 minutes.

Or when Comcast had unlimited downloads which was capped at 2 TB.

These shitty companies know exactly what they are doing.

I had an "unlimited" plan with a cell company - I took them at their word and downloaded gobs of stuff. Got shut down in a week.
