Calling a 'Bike' a 'Build'
I find it annoying that some people call a 'Bicycle' or 'Bike' a 'Build'. Anyone agree?

Throw the stick!!!!
Nope. I've got too many worries already to even give a second thought to what someone calls a bike.

Are you putting it together? Building it?
I'm on truck, R/C car, Bike, and sports car forums... everyone's latest project is their "current build". Makes sense to me.

if you rounded up the parts and built it yourself, it is a build
if you rolled it past the cashier at walmart, it's a bike

There's a lot in this life to be annoyed about, but I can't seem to work up any annoyance for this.
