Most of zoro s attacks can be done with axes or schytes even with clubs 
Question 1: When is a weapon a sword?
I think most can agree that weapons like spears, axes, naginatas, etc are not usually considered swords despite being blades weapons. Being meito or cursed shouldn’t change that
Hell we’ve even seen Kaido capable of cutting techniques with his kanabo and I think Yamato too. Doesn’t mean it’s a sword
At the same time all those weapons can be used as swords depending on the wielder
A scythe which isn’t a sword can be used as a sword as shown by zoro
Nekomamushi with his claws but obviously not all claws are swords
Legs obviously aren’t swords but Kaku still refers to them as so because of his tempest kicks. Even tho all of cp9 can also use the same technique. Similar to how all marines have trained in using swords but that doesn’t make all of them swordsmen

Again zoro has a sword style
Are you trying to argue that all weapons that can be used as swords are swords? Does that mean Whitebeard is also a swordsman because his weapon can be used as one? Not as important but Kaido can send cutting attacks with his club.
You do understand by that logic they also don’t have attack names because we haven’t heard of them
And again
I’m tired repeating myself
Kinda funny how someone could master a cursed supreme grade blade and even make it black but if it’s something like a scythe or knife it doesn’t matter to the wss title lol
Bladesman > swordsman

Whitebeards weapon is a naginata which is used by women in ancient Japan, i am not sure if you meant it is a spear but i just wanted to add the information. 
Bladesman > swordsman
