The definition of a hole is quite simple, really (given in the other comment about topology). Or at least that's the definition of hole that works best with the real world.

(As my math teacher used to say, everything is just a bunch of conventions : We could say that lim x/x x->0 = 3, but a lot of things in the real world wouldn't be as coherent as they are with that)

Also a straw has one hole.

Another more interesting question in my opinion : If you dig a hole in a hole is it 1 hole or 2 holes ?

A cow can be simplified to a sphere.

Truth in advertising.

Sometimes i wanna cry when people seriously believe that "this German word doesn't exist in English" but in the end it's just a lot of words without a space in-between. I feel like a part of it is that language terms sometimes try to universalize things that are different from language to language. Some languages don't merge whole words (they might have words by merging, but it changes the structure of them) some merge a couple words, and some merge a lot of words. Some traditionally don't even have spaces at all.

I'd say English falls into the middle category. Starlight are two words in one. I haven't studied proper English grammar but if i remember correctly in my main language similar words (with whole merging) are considered neologisms and actually two words. In English i feel like it's considered one. Which draws a weird line when you consider German comparatively, and not individually.

You topologists also say that a coffee mug is topologically identical to a donut. What's next cows are spheres?

The problem with English is that it has 5 vowels with 13 sounds.

We would have to pee into tubes in that case, or maybe catheters would be as common as wallets

I like Nawlins more

I don't think they're really a thing in the English speaking world that isn't America. I've never had or heard of one in the UK.

If you make a hole in a net, there are less holes in the net.

In some languages, mine included, words are spelled exactly as they are pronounced for the most part. Sure, there are some similar sounds here that can make you confused with a letter or two, but not enough to make it a contest worthy skill.

Sure you can, if the body is 6 ft deep and you only dug 3 ft that would be half a hole. Everything is about context

Maybe the half a wife does other stuff?

Arent those competitions a thing for other languages too? I think I saw one for polish
