    Buddy is being pedantic, in casual use most people will use bleeding edge in exactly the same use case as you are using it.

      It’s not being pedantic; I’m not correcting their use of an incorrect word that doesn’t matter. There’s a pretty big distinction between leading edge and bleeding edge, especially when it comes to stated disappointment that a software or program isn’t as stable as expected.

      No need to toss insults just to jump to the defense of someone in a pretty simple misunderstanding.

        There isnt jack shit difference in the colloquial sense, except for the fact that one word people generally know, and the other people dont. If you were telling this to a native english speaker I wouldnt care, but to an ESL person I feel the need to step in and say “Yeah no, everyone will understand what you mean with the phrasing you chose, the person correcting you is being hyper literal”

          1- they didn’t mention being ESL until after the response, so congratulations on the foresight of other’s hindsight.

          2- have a good night and stay blessed, bud.
