Now that’s just silly.
Awww! That’s a cute fish you got there!
Here’s the thing. You said a “jackdaw is a crow.”
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one’s arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing.
If you’re saying “crow family” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.
So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people “call the black ones crows?” Let’s get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that’s not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you’d call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don’t.
It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?
I wouldn’t be surprised if that was already a thing.
I’ll have to ponder on that.
He did, but only in bed.
Rimmer was right!
Pretty sure botanists are aware that the same word can have different meaning outside of their scientific field. The people actually bothered by this are pedants who read about it on the internet, not people who studied botany.
Point me to the EU law which clearly states this, please.
All the Germans I’ve met were super nice people. You should get out more.
I’m not American you dummy.
because the say the other side would be worst
Are you saying otherwise?
I read that as “United States” and the headline only started to look suspicious with the word “passengers”.
So I’ve heard. The feeling is mutual, oddly enough.
Is ź and ż not enough? =D
the alternative is to make the syntax become a hellish mess
The alternative is Czech.
That’s a myth. There have been proto-pasta back in Etruscan days.
