.... Or Team Stepladder? Do you support Maya's claims? Or do you judge things based on narrow- minded cultural assumptions? |

Stepladder, although it's a little more complicated. All stepladders are ladders, but not all ladders are stepladders. |

I tried to think of a logical way to approach this and it was no use. So I'm just gonna say stepladder. |

Just have to say, I can't believe a thread like this only came now. It's like, the fundamental question every AA-player gotta ask themselves. |

I believe there was a thread like this once years ago. My memory is that it got locked, but I don't remember why. Anyway, I like to be specific, so I'm on Team Stepladder. |

I see. Not during my time here, then. |

If it would be clear to everyone involved that there was only one ladder in the room/house/area, I would call it a ladder, just like how if there were only one dog around, I would refer to it as "the dog". If there were more than one, or if it weren't clear, I'd call it a stepladder (just like how, facing a group of different dogs, I would specify which one I'm talking about). |

When referring to an item that is obviously a stepladder (especially the short ones... I don't know, short ones seem more stepladder-ish for some reason... i don't know) I will always say "stepladder", which sometimes gathers odd looks, which fade normally in the next seconds. I seldom correct people when they incorrectly say ladder, only friends who have either played the game or I have explained the joke to, and family. Unless I am feeling particularly asshole-ish, which rarely happens. No need to become a Stepladder Nazi.

'Tis a ladder until it is spread. Then, it is a stepladder, regardless of whether it was broken to become one. (If it was broken, we refer to duct tape.) Nevertheless, I think we can all agree that calling it "steps" would be fair. That's what I usually say. To be perfectly honest, though, I do distinguish between stairs and steps, as well as shovels and spades. |

Ladder. A stepladder is a compound word. "step" + "ladder" = stepladder. Like a stepping ladder. Thus creating the name "Stepladder". What was the base word? "ladder". So far, the only noun in the compound word is 'ladder'. Ladder. |

It really doesn't matter. Because if you add a Ladder and another in the opposite direction, it will be a stepladder, since stepladders are just two ladders combined to each other. It would be illogical to just blurt out Stepladder without understanding the fact that it's just two ladders combined!  *Epic Japanese Bell Rings* |

@AcePointer: By that logic, you should also call a house a room, a pool a tub, a forest a tree, and a sentence a word. ;) |

Technically, a house is a bunch of rooms, a pool is a big tub, a forest is a biome, not a bunch of trees, and a sentence is made up of a bunch of words. Stepladders are two ladders that seem to step at each other. Not because stepladders are two combined ladders. That, is still a narrow-minded cultural assumption itself. |

Team stepladder. Ambiguous words like "ladder" will just cause more confusion that the "Confusing things in AA" thread. |

Whatever, it's just an ordinary stepladder, nothing special.   : You lose, Nick. : Shut it!

I'm definitely on Team Stepladder. Always have been, always will be. It just feels like the most logical choice, I think.  But I guess I can also see how someone might want to be on Team Ladder.
