    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.
