true, but most think of oem roms when they hear android

When I hear Android, I think of Android. And that word encompasses everything imo. That's how most people use the word in my experience.

If someone means AOSP specifically, they'll say AOSP

exactly. i think the term 'android' should be used as an umbrella term only, like linux.

"im running linux"

yeah but what distro? same with android
