Comment on Why do we use the term Ban when it's temporary? Why not the more accurate, Suspension?
Steve@communick.news 3 weeks agoBut 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.

I made that same argument countless times in school. I can count on one hand the number of times a teacher agreed with me.
