This is such a common comment on HN that it makes me believe that a small portion of the population doesn't realize that "hey, that word can mean multiple things" is a thought everyone has all the time without considering it particularly noteworthy.
Of course, it's really just an opportunity for some weak posturing like "heh, I thought you meant floppy as in the floppy disk, something us grey beards had back in our day ;)."

Oh how I wish this were true; but from what I've seen, the vast majority of arguments in the world today boil down to people assuming that their own definition of a word is the only valid definition of that word :(
(As an example, person A might say "feminism [meaning man-hating] is bad", and person B might say "no you're wrong, feminism [meaning equality] is good!"; and then even though they both actually agree 100% about the fundamental ideas, they end up as bitter enemies, deeply offended by each other, because they can't see that they're actually talking about different things...)
