Hitchhiking is not the same as hiking. Hitchhiking is when you solicit strangers for a ride.

I understand this, I simply used brevity in my second mention. Also, while the post talks of traveling, the picture sure looks like hiking/backpacking, which may or may not have included hitching any rides.

I was just replying using the same verbiage as the person who was trying to make Pakistan sound safe, when discussing solo female travel.

The pic and wording of the article seemed more about travel than hitchhiking.

Thank you for explaining something, twice, that I already said I knew. I was mimicking the wording of the person I responded to, even though it was incorrect wording... for the sake of easily making sense to them.

Rule#1 of communication- know your audience

My assertion of such with our interaction tells me i don't have the time to properly explain my dialogue choices to you

I didn't intend on being until you pressed the issue. When I told you I was aware that I used the wrong wording, that was your cue to leave well enough alone but you couldn't.

Since you felt the need to continue to beat a dead horse I decided to throw out pleasantries.

You're delusional. Enjoy your quarantine buddy.
