I cut my lawn.

As with "Spank the monkey" or "Flog the dolphin", as long as the job gets done, your choice of phrase matters naught. 🙂

Where's the "I don't care" option

Where's the "I don't care" option

It's the little "X" on the top right corner of your window.

Cut the grass sounds dumb.

Holy shit this is weird, my wife and I were just talking about this earlier in the day. I said I was gonna go mow the lawn and my three year old asked what a lawn was. My wife said in a very smart tone, "it's what your Dad calls it when he cuts the grass". So I said to my son, "ask your Mom what I use to cut the grass". That pretty much ended the debate.

Obviously the correct answer is "mow the lawn" since I've never heard of someone using a "grass cutter" to "cut the grass".

It's not a question of correct or wrong. A lawnmower cuts grass so you can say cut the grass. If you have a breadmaker can you only say "I'm making bread instead" of "baking bread"?
