    Allow me to match your pedantry.

    A “denotation” is an exact, codified definition of a word, commonly thought of as a “dictionary definition.”

    A “connotation” is a less official but culturally understood meaning of a word, often dependent on context or setting.

    “PC” connotes Windows in the gaming world. But thanks for taking time out of your day to tell me what it stands for, etc 🙄
