ooh, thank you for taking care to point out the building is what burned

it might seem a nitpick, this peeve of mine

but a precinct is a jurisdictional area

I've seen people elide the word "building" in saying the "3rd precinct" burned

which makes it sound like an entire area of the city burned, instead. It can be hard to tell when this is merely careless versus deliberately provocative.
