Oh, and
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/altitude
"The absolute height of a location, usually measured from sea level."
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/elevation
"The distance of a celestial object above the horizon, or the arc of a vertical circle intercepted between it and the horizon; altitude."
Yes I'm quoting wikionary, you can research the etymology of both words and they have had a similar meaning for hundreds of years.

Take your ignant bearded cunt back to Dawgman.puppylove_sugarsteel said:Pete full of shit and he knows it. Said that with his team's goal in mind. Altitude a huge factor. Huge. Hope team leaves thursday to acclimate.
Bear cut the semantics debate. You wasted a lot of time trying to be cute. We all know what a complete waste of time this was, and you came off looking like a bigger bonio than we already see you ass.
Altitude is an issue for people who aren't in great shape like you. -

It isn't called elevation sickness -
Attitude is definitely a factor. Our players need to march right into Provo with a positive attitude, or thei'yre gonna have a long day. I mean, let's face it, the altitude is going to be a major challenge for the Huskys, so they don't need to be making it worse by not having a good attitude about it.

When people started flying instead of being on the fucking ground all the fucking time, the language needed to evolve to differentiate between the two.

Main Difference – Altitude vs. Elevation
The terms altitude and elevation both refer to a height. The two terms have somewhat similar meanings, although there is a difference in where and how the two terms are used. The main difference between altitude and elevation is that the word altitude is used to describe the vertical distance between an object and a reference point whereas elevation is used to describe the height of a place above the sea level.
What is Altitude
Altitude is the height of an object above a reference point or level. The reference level could be defined to be anything, although mean sea level (MSL) or above ground level (AGL) are commonly used. For example, we use the term “altitude” to refer to how high an airplane is flying. This altitude is measured using a device called an altimeter. An altimeter actually a barometer, measuring pressure. However, the higher up above the sea level you are, the less is the pressure you are going to experience (This is because at higher places, the weight of the air pushing down on you is less). Therefore, a barometer can be calibrated to give the height of a point above sea level.
What is Elevation
The term “elevation” is used to refer to the height of a place above the mean sea level. The image below shows a diagram showing how much of the Earth is at various altitudes:
Difference Between Altitude and Elevation - Elevations_histogram
As mentioned before, at higher elevations, the air is “thinner”. i.e. it is less dense because there is less air pushing down on it. This means that the air pressure as well as the amount of oxygen is less at higher elevations and has important implications for humans. For instance, some people suffer high-altitude sickness (note that although the word altitude is used rather than elevation, in this case, the term generally refers to the height of a place above sea level) where they experience dizziness and shortness of breath.
Altitude refers to the height of an object above a given point.
Elevation refers to the height of a place above the mean sea level. -

Language nazis are a dying breed, which is a good thing, in a language that is evolving all the time. If it wasn't, we'd still all be speaking old english.
Of course the poont of language is to communicate information. But we have established and mutually/generally understood and accepted rules in order to minimize misunderstanding. Taking two words with two separate meanings and deciding to conflate both meanings into just one reduces clarity and increases the likelihood of misunderstanding. It's like people who use ironic for sardonic and sarcastic, even though all three have separate meanings that help make the fucking language so rich and interesting in addition to being clear.
And of course language evolves. But when it evolves too quickly, you get results like that electronic pidgin crap that you see on twitter feeds that screams "I'm fucking lazy and didn't listen in English class!!1!" Evolution for the sake of clarity is one thing; evolution for the sake of laziness is quite another thing, and is deserving of ridicule and correction.
tl;dr fuck off -
