Comment on 2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Nominal size is supposed to be 1.5

Sawyer is an occupational term referring to someone who saws wood, particularly using a pitsaw either in a saw pit or with the log on trestles above ground or operates a sawmill.
Operator of a sawmill = sawyer.
A 2x10 can move a half inch while drying? Sure. It shouldn’t be “while drying” while the construction crew is installing it.

Follow those wiki links, they all use hand tools, to use it to refer to one who operates machined mills would be incorrect since there is already a term.
A miller operates a sawmill.

The word “Sawmill” from my quote was a link. This is the first picture on the page it links to. Hell of a hand tool that guy’s using.
You’re not only stupid, you’re dishonest. I bet you vote Republican.

Yes the link that refers to SAWMILLS as a whole, where there can be millers who use the tools you linked, and sawyers who would use the tools used in the other links. Accountants can work at sawmills too you know, would they call themselves sawyers just since they worked there too?
Who’s being dishonest? You’re claiming you work in a field you’ve shown zero actual education in.
