So are you saying a line is a length of rope?
Not entirely but somewhat. A length of a line could be anything. Even when the rope is on the spool, its measures XXXft/mts.
What I am saying with my petpeeve is, once a section of the rope is cut off for a reason, its no longer a rope. It is a line. More like a "TOOL" its stop being a rope is now a line, that will be used on something and it now serves a purpose.
