The C standard uses the term 'cast' only for explicit conversions,
and never uses the term 'cast' for implicit conversions.  You
should do the same.

What bothers people is not you using the wrong terminology.  What
bothers people is you being a self-centered jerk, and deliberately
using incorrect terminology just to annoy people.

Incidentally, the word "pedantic" is an adjective.  The noun form
is "pedant".  People who complain about you using terminology
incorrectly are not being pedants.  They simply are offended by
your never-ending efforts to be a pest and an asshole.
