i wonder why when it comes to things like Whether Or Not Tomatoes Are Fruit or Whether Or Not Bananas Are A Berry or Whether Or Not There Is Such Thing As A Fish, people will confidently say the scientific definition that is just Not Helpful as a fun fact without thinking about how unhelpful it is to extend that definition to everyday parlance, but then when it’s OCD (which, for the record, i don’t have, so maybe i’m not qualified to talk about this), people ignore what it actually is, and just use the word however they want (you got it the wrong way around buddy!)
(it’s because “dId YoU kNoW tOmAtOeS aReN’t VeGeTaBlEs” has shock value)
