Do you consider oatmeal to be cereal?

I think oatmeal is oatmeal and cereal is cereal. And a burger isn’t a sandwich.

Hot cereal is any porridge made with a grain. Oatmeal is specifically made from oats. Other forms of hot cereal are (for example) Cream of Wheat (wheat), polenta (corn), grits (corn), and others.

In supermarkets here, porridge oats are found in the cereal aisle, but, no, I don't think of them as a cereal. To me, cereal is cornflakes, bran flakes, muesli, etc. Maybe because you cook porridge but just add milk to cereal??
