Reply to comment by KMjolnir in Democrats win control of Pennsylvania state House · Spotlight PA by dotcom-jillionaire

Common use does not refer to a state's house of reps as "Congress." That phrase is almost exclusively used to refer to the federal legislature, in particular to the House of Representatives.

True, it's usual referred to as the PA Assembly. However "almost exclusively" is not the same as exclusively, so by your own words it is sometimes referred to as that. Ergo, they are correct even if it isn't often called that.

The remainder is presumptive and gratuitous.

If you dislike my interpretation of the earlierc arguments, that's fine. If you have issues with the words I refer to, you can take it up with Miriam & Webster on the definition or Reddit user u/IamSauerKraut for simply adding fuel to the fire and being, we'll put this politely, misguided in their understanding.
