oats aren't mamals, can't see how he could possibly get milk from it.
Same for almonds and everything else.
I also don't order cow juice.
The word 'milk' in the English language has been used to describe plant-based milks for at least 800 years. Soy milk and Almond milk as beverages have been around for at least 1000 years.
You're ahistorical proscriptive definition is just bullshit gatekeeping. You are wrong and should feel bad about yourself over it.

Jeez man how can you be so triggered and fanatic about something?
Touch some grass
Proscriptive definitions aren't how language works, and never have been.
I like that wordds have meaning. Whatever it is, milk or juice, it shouldn't get you to react like that.
Words do have meaning. And the meaning of the word "milk" has included plant milk for at least 800 years.
I don't like when people with 0 understanding of the context or history of something act indignant about something they are so clearly and demonstrably wrong about.
You can not like it, IDC but have some manners
Don't get all condescending about something you're clueless on if you don't like being called out on it.

So go away.
By sibling in satan, you are the one who posted an unnecessarily contrarian comment as a top-level reply in this thread and then getting all bent outta shape upon being corrected.
Can you read?
See it as contrarian or not, "bullshit gatekeeping. You are wrong and should feel bad about yourself over it" is what he wrote.
This unstable guy is clearly the one bent outta shape.
Now stop milking this and do something useful with your time.
Bye now.
Cope, seethe, mald 💅
