I don’t really know how to structure this question, but yeah, why is always Naval and never Aviation?

    english is a great language with which to get into a habit of saying “according to,” or “traditionally,” before statements like these.

    if “why they use” is understood as a question, then it’s functioning as a question. to try to point out a “mistake” in english against some supposed objective or better standard is to fight a classist, sisyphean, and intellectually unrigorous battle against the reality of language in use. spare yourself the frustration.
