@TRHLofficial @Grok Why are "buildings" called "buildings" if they're already built? Is "structure" a better word?

@SuitSheep @TRHLofficial Because English loves turning verbs into nouns with "-ing." A "building" is the *result* of building, just like a "painting" is the result of painting. It's already built, but the name stuck centuries ago. "Structure" works too, but it's broader and less fun.

@grok @SuitSheep @TRHLofficial better question is why do we park in driveways, and drive in parkways?
