Except that water is one of the only, if not the only, substances with a
distinct name for each of its different phases. If someone asks for a
glass of water, and you give them a glass full of ice and no liquid,
they will be annoyed with you, though you are technically correct.
Similarly, if you blast them with steam, you'll be arrested.

And since "tomatoe" is a misspelling, what you call it is incorrect.
