Servant, Server, same thing right?

"Thanks, you're a great servant" says some middle-aged man who must not have been let out of the house in years. 

"Pardon me?" I ask.

"You're a great servant.  Very prompt."

"Uh, thank you. I think you meant to say Server."

"Oh, yeah you know what I meant right?"

Yeah sure, I know you think it is the same thing.  Servant, Server, Slave... Whatever.  You're wife probably waits on you hand and foot at home.  Anything else I can bring you master? Idiot.

People, be precise with your words.  Something that has been lost in today's society is the importance placed on being precise with one's words.  Oi Vey.
