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.
if everyone started using "hammer" to refer to a long object used to turn screws, would you sit there having a tantrum and calling it a screwdriver?
or would you just fucking call it a hammer so people understand you, and move on with your life
How long would that take, and how many people would it take? Right now, pretty much everyone is calling a screwdriver a screwdriver, you're pretty much the only one having a fit.
Good day, sir or madam, and may the world treat you and your condition with compassion.
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.
