Alright, I'll bite.
I grew up in Oklahoma and Texas. Didn't move to Tennessee until my 20s. No, we would not call it "warm water port." I've literally never seen anything bigger than a pond with ice on it. Why would it occur to me to mention it's warmth?
And where I'm from a sentence like "be slightly more cautious with your linguistic judgements" is the kind of pretentious nonsense that gets you disinvited from the barbecue so I recommend being slightly more cautious your own damn self.
Yeah, see, if you can't read my comment correctly, you might not be the best audience.
I explicitly wrote, that warm water port wasn't an usual term and that Texans wouldn't call such a structure harbor, but port since their port is literally called - wait for it - port.
Maybe a bit less BBQ and more reading comprehension would do you a favor.
Suuuuuper pretentious. Needlessly so.
I can tell you're one of those people who likes to believe they pride themselves on their intelligence, but the truth is, you pride yourself on using it like a cudgel in a vainglorious attempt to feel better than others.
I think we'd be better off if we disengage here.
