Definition of cage
noun
a structure of bars or wires in which birds or other animals are confined:
she kept a canary in a cage
Definition of cell
noun
a small room in which a prisoner is locked up or in which a monk or nun sleeps:
I can understand that not all who speak English, can understand what they say, but I did not know it was that bad.
I hope you can see the difference between cage and cell, it can be very difficult for others
people to communicate with you if you can not understand the words you use.
No. I do not define words, there are other things that define words, as time and history the use of words the common usage of the word.
If you learn to understand the meaning word, then know others what you are talking about.
If you do not learn the meaning of words so that people will misunderstand you throughout your life.
First of all, you're only giving a partial definition of the word "cage". The full definition is:
cage |kāj|
noun
a structure of bars or wires in which birds or other animals are confined: she kept a canary in a cage | figurative : his cage of loneliness.
• a prison cell or camp.
Secondly your wooden cage is NOT "a small room in which a prisoner is locked up" because it's NOT a room.
This is because the definition of a room is:
room |ro͞om, ro͝om|
noun
2 a part or division of a building enclosed by walls, floor, and ceiling: he wandered from room to room.
• (rooms) a set of rooms, typically rented, in which a person, couple, or family live: my rooms at Mrs. Jenks's house.
Your wooden cage is NOT "a part or division of a building enclosed by walls", instead, it's a part of a room that's partitioned off from the room it's in by a structure of wooden bars, devised to confine (human) animals in.
As in:
Definition of cage
noun
a structure of bars or wires in which birds or other animals are confined
Honestly, your inability to read your own definitions is getting a bit ludicrous, especially that through all your poor, ill-grammared, spelling mistake written posts and profile, you're now claiming to lecture English when you obviously don't even have basic fluency in that language down...
If you still can't get it through your thick skull that you're acting like an idiot, I can pull you up two dozen references of instances where in common usage English "cage" is used synonymous for '"cell". Police district drunk tanks come immediately to mind.
On top of all that, you STILL haven't answered by question:
If you where mistakenly thinking that I was referring to your metal cage instead of your wooden cage, then why did you say that your METAL cage has metal UNDERNEATH the wood? In which of your two cages do you have metal underneath wood?
