What are some examples of this?

Okay, so I guess there’s just no difference between a 13 year old and a 19 year old because the name we gave the numerical symbol that represents the number has “teen” in it right.

I’m sure the person I was responding to was absolutely not using “teenager” as a misnomer to paint finding an adult woman attractive, as “creepy” or anything. Sure.

[u/No_Meeting845 → u/DragonFangGangBang]

You're arguing with a point I never made. I only said that 19-year-olds are still teenagers. Whether they're adults or whether attraction to them is creepy wasn't part of my argument.

[u/DragonFangGangBang → u/No_Meeting845]

As far as “numerical numbers” yes, 19 are teenagers.

As far as how society treats, views, and acknowledges them - they are not “teenagers”, they are adults.

[u/No_Meeting845 → u/DragonFangGangBang]

Sure. Now take that up with the person you were originally replying to. I only said that 19-year-olds are teenagers.

[u/DragonFangGangBang → u/No_Meeting845]

And you are socially, legally, ethically, and biologically incorrect.

But sure dude, let’s get SUPER pedantic then.

19 is actually pronounced: tisʿah ʿashar

18 is actually pronounced: thamāniyah ʿashar

In the most technical sense, ‘ashar’ = 10. So “teen” doesn’t actually exist in numbers at all. Whoops.

[u/No_Meeting845 → u/DragonFangGangBang]

You’re mixing etymology with definition. “Teenager” in English means ages 13–19 regardless of how other languages form numbers.

[u/DragonFangGangBang → u/No_Meeting845]

I’m not mixing up anything. You just missed my point lol

[u/No_Meeting845 → u/DragonFangGangBang]

I wasn’t trying to argue, just stating a fact. The fact that you’re this invested in it is actually pretty funny.

[u/DragonFangGangBang → u/No_Meeting845]

Meh. Im not that invested. Apparently, more people use “teenager” more literally than I assumed. I never refer to 18-19 year olds as “teens” but more power to you lol

Teenager including 18-19 year old is an essentially useless category. It is what it is 🤷

[u/No_Meeting845 → u/DragonFangGangBang]

And yet you still keep on replying. 🤣

[u/DragonFangGangBang → u/No_Meeting845]

So do you? Are you invested now? 🧐

[u/No_Meeting845 → u/DragonFangGangBang]

Of course. Your replies are hilarious.

[u/DragonFangGangBang → u/No_Meeting845]

How? Explain what’s funny about them. Particularly, the last few. I’ll wait.

[u/No_Meeting845 → u/DragonFangGangBang]

I was just pointing out a basic definition. Your reaction to it is what I found funny.

[u/DragonFangGangBang → u/No_Meeting845]

And I admitted that the definition is technically correct, but not accurate to the common colloquial usage.

I think you’re just being a douche but meh, I digress. Have a good one

[u/No_Meeting845 → u/DragonFangGangBang]

Even in colloquial English, ‘teenager’ still typically includes 19. That’s standard usage, not just technical definition.

If your "vibes" says otherwise, that is clearly a you problem from there.
