Top ten characters that can beat Thanos (even with gauntlet completed)

the recorder falls into the flute family actually. and some people (the Dutch, for example) call it the block flute. a flute is an instrument that produces sound using the flow of air, and recorders fall into that criteria, making them part of the flute family. even tin whistles are part of the flute family

Go show any musician in not the Netherlands (literally 99% at the least of the people seeing this meme) a picture of a recorder and tell them "this is a flute" and tell me how it goes

and just cause a lot of people believe that doesn't make it true

When it comes to language it does. If 80% of the world suddenly started calling a tuba a boomtoomzoom it would be a boomtoomzoom. That's how language works

1. boomtoomzoom is 10x better than trombone
2. (according to wikipedia)
in german, Danish, Dutch, norwiegan, Swedish, and several other languages the word for recorder translates to "block flute", and in Italian and some other languages it can be translated to "sweet flute"
3. unless the criteria that defines a flute changes, a recorder is always gonna be a flute

and i just realised I'm up at 6 am arguing whether a fucking recorder is a flute. what has my life come to...

I mean, technically it IS a flute, but it's more commonly called a recorder. When you say flute, Most people picture the classical, metal kind you hold horizontally by your mouth or such

I've called it a flute for my whole life.... what the fuck is a "recorder" sounds like a VHS tape thingy.

Thank you @cryoenthusiast
Recorder just doesn't make any sense to me. It ain't recording anything. But I'm german so I'm used to it being called a Blockflöte (block flute) so whatevs.

According to the guy himself :
"IN MY COUNTRY THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FLUTE AND RECORDER. BOTH INSTRUMETS ARE CALLED AT THE SAME WAY. RECORDER, FLUTE AND PICCOLO ARE THE SAME IN THE LANGUAGE.. FLUTE"

In my language there is no difference between a butterfly and an elephant. Both are called a butterfly. That definitely doesn't make the the same thing.

So to clarify. In my language both "recorder" and "flute" are actually compound words of "flute" and an adjective. Thus in common speech, flute and recorder are often called the same thing. Regardless of the actual difference between them. Since they're called similarly and are wind instruments with the same general shape, they are treated as essentially the same.
