Why is it called a "stop sign" when most people drive through them without ever actually stopping?

Ah! There are several words missing in that statement. It's been shortened to save time, and not confuse people (like G. Bush) who can't remember more than three words at a timer. Its' really
"DRIVE up, wait, drive a bit further, order, wait, pay, wait, drive a bit more, wait, collect the products (I won't say "food"), drive THROUGH to the exit, wait, then go.

Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway? Why do people insist on calling it an ATM machine or a PIN number? People are highly unintelligent and like the contradictions and redundancies.

because calling it a drive through does not imply that there are not stops.... in fact, you do drive through... in between stops

If it develop into referred to as "power by way of and dont stop" i could desire to make certain a element to your question, the fact its referred to as a, "power by way of" and what human beings have a tendency to do is, "power by way of", i only think of your relatively bored and choose some interest.

I guess for the same reason that people drive on the parkway and park in the driveway.

Well, I guess its because you are driving through in your vehicle as opposed to walking inside.

Because after you have left the establishment you will have driven through, regardless of any time stationary between entering or leaving.
