OK I was just having an argument with someone about hair.

This was the basis : if I have a hair on my head and I cut it perfectly in half, with one end attached to my head and the other one free, is the half that is still attached to my head called 'hair' or 'half a hair'

Pretty sure its just hair.

I thought i'd seen everything.

It's hair!. Who gives a damn

It's called hair. The bit that's on your head is hair. The bit that was cut off is still hair...

I would say it is a hair. The part that is cut off is no longer part of you so it is not 50% of a hair.

As long as its hair, then its hair.

 

Unless your referring to a few strands of hair, then its hairs

I believe this only applies to inanimate objects, eg. A dog cut in half is half a dog.

Edit. It is two halves of a dog

No. A dog cut in half is dead.

 

Sorry. just couldn't resist.  :unsure:
