2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Actual size is supposed to be 1.5

I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you'd think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.

Follow those wiki links, they all use hand tools, to use it to refer to one who operates machined mills instead of manual in a sawmill would be incorrect since there is already a term.

A miller operates a machined sawmill.

The word "Sawmill" from my quote was a link. This is the first picture on the page it links to. Hell of a hand tool that guy's using.

You're not only stupid, you're dishonest. I bet you vote Republican.

Yes the link that refers to SAWMILLS as a whole, where there can be millers who use the tools you linked, and sawyers who would use the tools used in the other links.

Who’s being dishonest? You’re claiming you work in a field you’ve shown zero actual education in.
