'Raids', really?

[Bled]

Let's go back to your original quote, before you edited:



. . . so, how the flying hell does my analogy not fit?



If it functions like a raid, has loot like a raid, plays like a raid, it's an invasion!

Wait, no, it's a ****ing raid. Call it a raid, ffs. . .

A duck is a waterbird with a broad blunt bill, short legs, webbed feet, and a waddling gait.

can not also be referred by any other word unless you are specifying species.

A raid is:
Verb: Conduct a raid on: "officers raided thirty homes".
Noun: A rapid surprise attack on an enemy by troops, aircraft, or other armed forces in warfare.

But can also be referred to as foray, assault, incursion and so on.

So with the above said there is no correlation to you analogy.

But this is so far off point from all the flaming over a few people requesting a name change there's a whole forum out there one thread requesting something minoot is not the end of the world.
