This is a normal post From that very page
"In British English, traditional usage favours railway station or simply station, even though train station, which is an Americanism, is now misused instead of railway station in writing."

This is a normal post That's clearly not correct though.
I take no issue with the first part of that sentence.

But misused? Is there a more correct usage for "train station" than meaning "station for trains" such that using it as "station for trains" counts as misuse?

That's clearly just someone's opinion, and not an objective fact. So I have corrected it.

This is a normal post I don't really care either way
I was just amused that the page you produced as proof seemed to directly contradict you.

Edit: and now you've edited that page so that it doesn't? That's genius. I'd take my hat off to you were I the sort of cunt who wore one.

This is a normal post Lol, yeah I suppose it was a bit of a cheap trick,
but I wouldn't edit a page to be actually wrong only to prove a point. I figured I should do it here since the original sentence basically didn't make sense.
