Absolutely irrelevant. A lot of players start their motion behind the line and make a final "plant" on or in front of it prior to jumping for their shot. You still give them two points. When the shooting motion starts isn't relevant to whether it's a two or a three.

You forgot the part where I stated my terminology was misplaced. But thanks.

It wasn't the terminology I was taking issue with, it was the premise.
