Maybe pedantry is not your cup of tea, but I listen to technology connections.
And the best type of correct is technically correct.
The whole reason to be precise about language is because it is confusing when you read something and go “that does not make sense” and then think about it for a minute and then realize what it means.
We don’t call them “fake emails” for a reason. It’s confusing. Spam email, spurious email, fake sender address, phishing, etc., are less confusing. Same with physical mail. Don’t be mad just because I want to read stuff nice.

It’s not imprecise at all and it’s only confusing if you deliberately misinterpret it to be pedantic.
What do you call a fake ID then?

Are you telling me that my confusion was on purpose?
I’m telling you I was confused.
Don’t believe me if you’re so smart. Not going to argue.

Either it was on purpose or you’re not nearly smart enough to be arguing about grammar and definitions on the internet.
Also you didn’t answer my question.
