so historically, folk would boil water [in a kettle] to make it safe. They discovered that steeping leaves in the water tasted nice. The kettles they used to boil water now became kettles to boil water + leaves and they did it so much over time the kettles became known as tea kettles.
Stuff changes over time and is different depending on region. What words are used for what often changes in as little as a decade, and the constant change of things even as seemingly historically objective also change. You know the present meaning of the word kettle and teapot, and your idea of the things those words refer to is also very present. And as said your view of those meanings is based on where you live, it can be as local as a neighbourhood with how things are specifically defined.
I’m seriously dumbstruck at your comment because it’s so fucking ignorant.

it’s a kettle for making tea
But you use a teapot to make tea. Is it a kettle that you then use as a teapot too?

Let’s not start any fights in here, certainly not over semantics. XD

You’re welcome to come over here and use the phrase “tea kettle” to see some slightly raised eyebrows
Mahoganyettles are too expensive and birchettles tend to deform over time and use.
