@clarfonthey@toot.cat If you ask the wrong type of pedant, they'll tell you (for even more confusion) that it's only a whetstone if you use oil on it, otherwise it's a water stone. "don't oil up that water stone, and especially don't get the whetstone wet!"

@clarfonthey@toot.cat of course, this is the same school of pedantry that will try and tell you that you're using the 'wrong' names for types of swords as if there's a central historical authority rather than each author going 'I'm gonna call these ones long because I feel like it'.
