- evincarofautumn 12y agoSorry to keep doing this, but I would say a bun is bread, too: “A bun is a small, sometimes sweet, bread or bread roll,” quoth Wikipedia.
- wingerlang 12y ago> Sorry to keep doing this I guess likewise, because while bun is a type of bread, bread doesn't, again, necessarily have to be a bun.
- evincarofautumn 12y agoOf course not. I’ve been saying for this whole conversation that it’s simply odd, when X is a subset of Y, to use language that implies that X and Y are disjoint sets.
