> If you want to correct someone, please correct them properly. You buy shares in instruments traded on Exchanges, which make up the "Stock Market"

Shares are instruments [1]. (You say this later, but nobody buys "shares in instruments").

Exchanges, together with ECNs, OTC markets, broker-dealers, other market makers, buyers, sellers, arbitrageurs, investment banks, et cetera make up the stock market.
