classification of inanimate objects

People always accuse me of mis-naming things.

But some things are confusing! I understand that I am supposed to see objects like this:

Also, that's what everyone else calls it.

But instead, I see objects like this:

Objects have many different characteristics. I find this confusing. Thanks to the SAT, I also often mis-name them.

When I was a middle schooler, it was decided that all the 8th graders should try their hands at the SAT. And so it was that I read a reading comprehension passage about Carl Linnaeus, and became fascinated with the accurate classification of objects.

This is actually a part of a larger chart, simplified here:

I usually use "popsicle" as the order name for "cold things on a stick," although it typically is also associated with the more traditional frozen-juice popsicle. My technical name for an ice cream bar is "popsicle ice cream" whereas the technical name for a traditional popsicle is "popsicle popsicle." I usually shorten this, unless specificity is needed, to just be "popsicle."

Classifying stuff this way makes me feel better, but it doesn't really help when people accuse me of mis-naming things.

Oh well.
