Codidact Meta

Why are (outside of META where it makes some sense) Questions and answers called Posts?

Is this because the coders are trying hard to show neutrality or are wanting to reuse some code snippet?

As an answerer and a questioner and I suspect most other visitors to the site, occasional and recurring it would not bother me one little bit if a Question was called a question and an Answer was called an answer.

It may even be possible that search engines will give more weight to the site Answers if they are formally labelled as such.
