    I had very constructive arguments about this with my grandma :

    • Can you fetch one the green tiles ?
    • What green tile ? You only have blue ones.
    • Goes to fetch it herself. See ? A tile, and it’s green.
    • But it’s clearly blue…
    • I don’t know what you mean, can’t you see that it’s green ?
    • I can see very clearly that it’s blue.
    • No this is green, this is blue, and the tile is closest to green.
    • It isn’t though, it’s definitely closest to blue.
    • A while later
    • This is pointless… Let’s just call it turquoise.
    • Turquoise it is.
    • The next time
    • Your new oven mittens are quite nice, the blue goes well in your kitchen.
    • They are green…
