I never said you could.  I said that Java has mutable and immutable 
strings.  The mutable string type is java.lang.StringBuilder and the 
immutable type is java.lang.String.  (There is also, of course, the 
mutable java.lang.StringBuffer, which I prefer to ignore :) ).

I never said you can "make a mutable String".  I said Java has a mutable 
string.

If and when I can use the keyword "string" in Java to refer to 
java.lang.String, then you can at least accuse me of vagueness.  For 
now, your complaint rings hollow.  :p
