This 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.

    In English, they aren't. Toes and fingers are both digits, but not both 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.
