Ladder vs. stepladder

"Maya Fey"

- Ah, a ladder.

"Phoenix Wright"

- It's just a stepladder. "Miles Edgeworth"

- Hmm... A ladder.

"Kay Faraday"

- Actually, that's a step-ladder. "Apollo Justice"

- Look, it's a folding ladder. "Trucy Wright"

- Polly! That's called a "stepladder"! C'mon!

A Stepladder or a Ladder have been commonly spotted in a few of Phoenix Wright's, Apollo Justice's, and once at Miles Edgeworth's cases. They, and their assistants, Maya Fey, Trucy Wright, Kay Faraday, and Ema Skye had called it differently, causing conflict on what it actually is. As a result it has been a reccuring joke in the games

Phoenix, Trucy, and Kay have called it a step ladder, while Apollo, Edgeworth, Maya, and Ema have called it a ladder.
