    It’s not imprecise at all and it’s only confusing if you deliberately misinterpret it to be pedantic.

    What do you call a fake ID then?

      Are you telling me that my confusion was on purpose?

      I’m telling you I was confused.

      Don’t believe me if you’re so smart. Not going to argue.

        Either it was on purpose or you’re not nearly smart enough to be arguing about grammar and definitions on the internet.

        Also you didn’t answer my question.

          Fake ID claims to be valid proof of id but is not.

          From the headline I couldn’t tell if the letter was purporting to be from tmobile or just somebody razzing people. I did not read the article. My brain fried on what a “fake letter” was.

          People are not just smart on one dimension only. You can be smart and still get confused processing language. Asshole.
