I think 5 is considered "a few" by most, even hair-splitters such as
yourself.


Each person has their own definition. If you want to split hairs, you need
to use a more precise term. To me, "a few" is generally three, while I'd
use "several" for five or more.

If you check Websters it says a small number of units. Five is a small
number.


In any case, the real question is how much before you stall will the horn go
off. It goes off much longer than a second before you stall the wing.


[...] but these have been called "full stall landings" since before I was
born so that is good enough for me.


As long as you understand that you are not actually stalling the airplane,
that's fine. Use whatever inaccurate terminology you like.

I understand that I'm stalling the wing, not the airplane.

My point is that "a few" is undefined with respect to a real number. If you
want someone to interpret your statement of "a few" with other than THEIR
definition, you need to be more specific. It is useless to come back later
and redefine it for them.

Now you're just being an ass; "stalling the airplane" is the same as
"stalling the wing". In any case, you are not stalling the wing either.
