Look, kid, have you been to Wikipedia?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_per_inch

"Owing in part to its conceptual similarity with other measurements of
graphical resolution, the DPI measurement is frequently misused. For
instance, it is common for an image scanner's sampling resolution to
be specified in terms of DPI, though a more accurate measurement would
be samples per inch. The number of pixels per inch in a computer
display is sometimes specified in this way as well. Usage of the DPI
measurement in these cases is considered by some to be inaccurate and
misleading, though the intended meaning is usually clear based on
context."

The most important part being:
"the intended meaning is usually clear based on context"

If you get them to change it to say that it is NEVER clear, even when
keeping it within a specific context, you'll have some ground to stand
on. Until then...they can be used interchangeably so long as you're
using them within a specific context (print, scanning, screen).

At this point, you're not arguing against me, you're arguing against
Wikipedia. Go whine to them, Child.

In the mean time, if someone tells me that they have a graphic that's
72 PPI, I KNOW what DPI I should print with in order for that image to
look decent when it's printing (granted it's gonna be small, but I
KNOW what to use). Don't you? By your own deficient logic YOUR
PRINTING BLIND! HOW RETARDED ARE YOU?!

And to show you just how interchangeable they are:

When you create a new image in Paint Shop Pro it lets you set the PPI,
later, when you save the image, Windows see's that number as the
DPI...IF THEY AREN'T INTERCHANGEABLE HOW IS IT DOING THAT YOU STUPID
RETARDED FUCKS!

OH...MY...GAWD!

And to that other RETARD and the people who were slurping his ass who
was saying that PPI is meaningless and doesn't matter...YOU'RE A BUNCH
OF FUCKING MORONS!

Let me educate you stupid, ignorant FUCKS:

PPI doesn't matter? Well if that's true, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU
LOOKING AT! There's only ONE image being used on that site, you
deficient freshmen dropouts!

Think McFly, THINK!
What, you need to see the ~magic~ code?

<img src="test.png">
<br>
<img src="test.png" width=100% height=100%>

WOAH, amazing! Now granted if you're just a retarded fuck who doesn't
know shit all about web coding maybe PPI is a meaningless number, but
when you're playing on the web design level that peeps of MY caliber
are on...yeah, it matters, it matters A LOT.

You stupid tards lose...you lose bad. `, )
