    Species actually don’t have a rigid definition that works across all organisms. The most common definition is the one you gave but sometimes it simply doesn’t work, for example any organism the doesn’t use sexual reproduction doesn’t fit this definition. Clarification of extinct populations would also be an issue. Even considering organisms this is usually used with, there are exceptions. For example; domesticated cattle and American bison, coyotes and wolves, and most cat breeds with various wild species.

  • Every example you gave is still inappropriate, as they are not about work. I worked in the public sector and that would have been shut down. Federal employees are held to a higher standard, especially if they have a high security clearance. They get funny about spending because it is tax payers dollars. Using a work computer on a government account during paid hours to talk about personal things, nope. There are a bunch of rules they were breaking.

    I’m not saying they they weren’t targeted, but they were still in the wrong.



  • My mother has the opposite effect. Her mere presence makes electronics behave oddly. The number of times IT has said to her “I’ve never seen this before” is ridiculous. One of my favorites was when spell check on word started flagging everything as a spelling mistake. This was of course because she SOMEHOW changed the reference dictionary to Portuguese. With key shortcuts. Unknowingly. More than once
