Comment on Why do we use the term Ban when it's temporary? Why not the more accurate, Suspension?
conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks agoYou’re missing the point. I’m saying that there are contrived situations where there are privileges that are not access that you could suspend without the word “ban” making sense.
Any case where you block access to anything for any length of time can correctly be defined as a ban.

But would more correctly (specifically) be defined as Suspend.
Like on a multiple choice test question with two answers that are “correct”, one is more specific, and thus the “right” answer.

No it wouldn’t. Ban is exactly, perfectly, correct.
If you considered taking points off for ban on a multiple choice test you’re a bad teacher with a flawed understanding of the language.

That’s not how tests work.

A test that punishes a correct answer is wrong.
