Q: Why is nothing even a word when you know that nothing is a word, and it exists as something when it should be nothing?
A: words are not usually the thing they refer to. for example, the word "car" is usually not a car. words are used to talk about the potential for things to happen with cars, or perhaps different patterns of cars with nothing in between. this nothing, in this case, is actually extremely important because it helps the cars not bump into each other
