    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.
