As I said, it depends on what country you're from. No use quoting
websites, better to quote dictionaries!
I had this "discussion" with Sheldon in an earlier lifetime. He
insisted I was illiterate by saying my country talks about healthy
foods rather than healthful foods. I stick by our local sayings. In
the same way that Americans talk about lucking out" when they mean
being lucky, whereas to me, lucking out means the opposite, being
unlucky.
Different strokes for differnt folks. You cannot force your culture on
others.
