    Such a fun read 😆 :

    “Similarly, we refer to an abacus as “an abacus” rather than a digital computer, despite the fact that it relies on digital manipulation to effect its computations.

    Finally, we refer to a dog as “a dog” because even the most strenuous mental gymnastics can’t really make it sound like it’s a computer.”

    EDIT: Sorry, this was meant to be a reply to HelloRoot@lemy.lol
