Why doesnt chess.com have a club for players that dont know how to use chess terminology correctly?
Did someone put you in charge of deciding the correct usage of chess terminology?
If there was a vote, no one told me about it, and I have no idea what I should do with this esteemed position. But as i posted before. I do think the misuse of terms like "Aggressive" "Tactical", "Positional" can and does harm someones growth in chess.
Well... I'm playing chess for 50+ years, and it would be a lie to claim that I have a style.
And there ya go!

If you talk about someone not having a style, it seems reasonable to me to consider the questions mentioned by GM John Nunn in his discussion of style. Can we correctly assume that you do not want to present any reasons to doubt that KingSideInvasion has answers to questions of that sort?

Do you have some reason to consider yourself to be authoritative on what is "misuse" of "tactical" and "positional"? Do you claim that GM Nunn used "style" in a way that is harmful to someone like KingSideInvasion?
