Comment on There are no odd numbers divisible by 2

Yeah but I’ve never heard anyone use the word “divisible” in a non mathematical context. It’s fundamentally about numbers. You’d never say “three is divisible by two” apart from about maths. You’d never say “this cake is divisible by two”, which is already not the context you were talking in, you’d say “you can cut this cake in half”.
