I bought 175 g pack of salami which had 162 g of salami as well.

      What other term would we use? Lost of items never fully “cure” I’m struggling to think of something that does. Paint doesn’t, nail polish doesn’t.

      It’s why it has to dry and set first. Concrete is completely usable after it’s set, it just gets stronger as it cures.

      Why do you think paint says not to wash the wall for a month after, the paint still has to cure after drying and setting.

          Or you just didn’t know what the term meant and assumed and now for some odd reason want multiple industries to change what they’ve used for decades….?

          Sure they’ll get right on that, or you could read a dictionary, there’s that option too.

            Or we could stop pedantic arguments like this by having a separate name for the two similar but different chemical reactions.

              …. Cure and set, I literally just explained that to you…. Yet you still want cure changed?

              And for what it’s worth, I gave a fun fact, and you started being the “pedantic” one after that since you misunderstood, so go look in a mirror? lmfao.

                And you were the one to get your feathers ruffled by my opinion that you could have just left alone.

                So pedant, shall we continue?

                  …. Your opinion was

                  If it never stops curing, then maybe we should stop using that term.

                  So I explained that’s why we use “set” and now apparently I’m pedantic for pointing out we have those terms and have zero need to do that. That ruffled your feathers.

                  Imma just block you.

                    And my opinion wasn’t about set and cure.

                    It was about materials that have a point where they finish curing and the ones that continue to cure. Because as YOU state there are materials in both categories.
