    Thanks for proving my point.

    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.
