    Reminds me of when I heard someone talk about a recent experience when they “built houses”. I thought that sounded unlikely, as I could not picture this person wearing a toolbelt and hardhat and actually swinging a hammer. I asked for clarification, and they explained how they managed a construction company or something, and that in English, saying “I build houses” covers the management side as well, not just the people actually doing the building.

      As someone who has actually physically built houses (i.e. nailing walls together, putting up the siding, hanging and mudding sheetrock, installing doors and windows etc.) this mindset pisses me off more than anything. “Management” does stuff like buying already-built houses, trucking them to our site and placing them on foundations, discovering the houses were built in the 1960s with 2x3s instead of 2x4s and thus needed to be torn down to the floors because they’re no longer up to code, necessitating us rebuilding the houses entirely from the floors up, and then discovering the houses were placed two feet too close to the property line so we have to literally chop two feet off of them and rebuild the walls.

      True fucking story. And I forgot to mention that the floors were 3/4 rotten so we had to rebuild most of them, too.

        2x3s instead of 2x4s

        How about building houses the right way like in the EU: Out of cellular concrete
