Look up prescriptivism, you sound like a dipshit.

Strawman argument. I’m litterally just saying that you can’t argue in favour of aluminum by saying its the original name, when aluminum is the original. It’s not even about which name is “”“correct”“” it’s just about using factually information.

No, it isn’t. The best thing you could call it is ad hominem, and even then you’d be wrong.

Yes it is, you’re constructing an argument that im not making and then arguing against that instead of what im actually saying. It’s actually textbook strawman.

No, actually, but you clearly have very poor reading comprehension so it doesn’t seem like I’ll be getting through to you.
Just know, when you use terms like strawman incorrectly you look fucking stupid.
