      The number refers to the number of sections the fold(s) create, not the number of folds.

      Example: Bifold and Trifold wallets.

          Yes. And a “bifold wallet” has a single fold that bisects the wallet into two haves. A “trifold wallet” has two folds that divides the wallet into three equal parts.

          This is how these English words are used. Look it up…

            This user has a long history of just saying things without looking them up. I have them tagged as such from around 8 months ago. I applaud your effort, but save it.

                Ooh, also changing your post after you’ve already replied, into something completely different. Real classy. Definitely real stable genius kind of behavior.

                I’m going to say this once, nice and loud and slow for you and everyone else in the back seats : Repeating a lie over and over again does not make it true. Doubling down on a lie when called out also does not make it true.

                Now I’m going to do the intelligent thing, that I should have done the first time we had this exact same argument: Enjoy your block, we won’t be interacting again.

            So because people repeatedly use them wrong that becomes to new correct use of the word?

              What a life you must have. Must be nice to be so blissful ignorant and naive that you never once consider that you are wrong, not the entire rest of the world.
