   If you want to be uber-technical, that’s actually a meta-use, not a use. For example “ice is frozen water” is a valid use, whereas “ice has three letters” (meaning “the word ‘ice’ has three letters”) is a meta-use. An easy way to see this: if the second usage were non-meta, you could combine the two sentences to get “frozen water has three letters” (example courtesy Martin Gardner, RIP).
