Yeah words have special meanings in special regimes. There are a lot of regimes these days, with so much known about so many specialities. We could spend all day noting use of words that make sense within a particular science or engineering field but would be funny in casual conversation .

Perhaps you meant to say that ices are crystals?

No. In astronomy, everything heavier than hydrogen or helium is referred to as metals. So, a star’s metallicity would be including carbon, oxygen etc.

Geologically, ice is a mineral, aka a rock. If lava is just rock heated past its melting point, water is lava.

Henceforth, when walking on a frozen lake or river, one must declare that the floor is lava!
