    As I said, that is not correct. Language is how people use it, and people use the term acronym to describe all of these things. This is not a technical discussion.

      If someone uses a screwdriver as a hammer, does that make the screwdriver a hammer because that’s how a person used it?

      SMH my head.

        I know it may be difficult to imagine, but if people call a screwdriver a hammer, that’s what it becomes. Language evolves and it’s biological. It’s really bizarre that y’all struggle with this so much.

        I’m sorry you don’t understand language but I can’t both explain it to you and make you think correctly. You have to do the second part on your own. I do believe you can get there though.
