Ok, your right. However....if you (somehow) put a nut on a woodscrew, does it make it a bolt, or just a a woodscrew with a nut on it? Lol.

I guess I'd argue that a "bolt" is any threaded thing with a nut on it and a screw is any threaded shaft...so I suppose that technically a bolt without nut is just a screw, likewise if you have a bolt with a nut on it in your hand and unscrew it you would have a nut in one hand and a screw in another....technically.
