A lot of rare things have names.
- Ensorceled 10y agoI took a quick read of the wiki article and it doesn't seem rare at all. Do you have counterfactuals to the wiki article and it's references?
- enkid 10y agoI don't know how common or uncommon it is. I know in my situation growing up in the US it was uncommon. I was simply arguing over the statement made in the comment, that if something has a name, it is common.
- Ensorceled 10y agoWhy did you assume he meant "it has a name so it must be common" when he actually said "it's so common it has a name" and provided evidence that it's common? He didn't make the statement you are claiming he made.
- enkid 10y agoSaying "it's so common it has a name" implies the reason it has a name is because it is common.
