2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Actual size is supposed to be 1.5

I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you'd think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.

Wait.. if you were building a home with this lumber, at least parts of it, wouldn't this technically hurt the integrity, or better yet, be less structurally sound? Or am I a dumb dumb?
- 2x2 is not a structural type of lumber. Houses use 2X4 or 2X6 for structure.
  
  Oh good.. Yeah, I'm ignorant in home construction.
- yes, no dumb dumb
