My 2 cents worth. No offence intended.
I think it’s just semantics to a degree.
I say potato, you say potato, they all say potato.
I’ve been sick all my life but I still don’t actually care what labels people use.
My grandfather died from dementia. You could argue he was demented, he had dementia, he suffered from dementia etc etc
The outcome’s the same: he’s dead. Arguing about labels would’ve been a waste of time.
