Comment on Not impressed
0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 days agoThis is how I felt as a kid when my peers insisted the thumb is not a finger. Like what are you talking about bro? If I asked before this came up, you’d have said you have ten fingers, not eight.

this is how I feel as a Spanish speaker when English tell me toes aren’t fingers

In English, they aren’t. Toes and fingers are both digits or phalanges, but not toes or fingers.

I acknowledge that you are right, however I also acknowledge that I don’t like it and I rather be wrong about it
Language created a thing where Spanish speaker have twice the finger than English speakers.

You can always call them foot fingers in English if you like, although you might get some strange looks.
