Re:There were no ancient computers and it's fine by YeGoblynQueenne on Monday April 01, 2024 @12:46PM (#39896133)
In Greek, my maternal language, both are called "computers". A calculator is specifically a "κομπιουτεράκι", or small computer, whereas "computer" is "υπολογιστής", literally, "calculator".

In English also the two words' literal meanings are the same, and it's only modern usage that distinguishes them, as sibling comments argue.
