Mountain lions have like 30 different names and no one gets into entomology fights about them. If there is no scientific standard name like birds have use whatever makes the most sense to you or your audience.
I completely agree that no one’s likely to get into “entomology” fights over mountain lions’ scientific minutiae… because they’re not fucking insects. 🤦🏽♂️
I used the wrong word and you had no idea what I was talking about, you got me. Debating a word over Greek vs Latin origin on what suffix to use in the English language, which is always consistent and true to its root words, is worthy of such pedantry. I concede.
Vernacular morphology is one thing, but in a scientific mode, this is lazy AF.

My dude, you literally illustrated my point in your hurry to reply. Own it. 🤣🤌🏽
