    In general, if someone ND is complaining about X, equating it to NT X doesn’t work. They have the same name, yes. That’s because we don’t have words for X2 or X3 etc. Imagine if house cats, ocelots, pumas, and tigers were all called “cats.”

    “A stray cat wandered in and it looks hungry.”

    “So, what’s the big deal? We have three cats at home. Just give them some kibble.”

    “I think it plans on eating me.”

    “Stop exaggerating.”

    This also works as a reply to OP’s question.
