It’s a fair point Steve, but you should brush up on your reading.

It actually says ‘there Latin’ rather than ‘their Latin’.

Do you need bifocals?

?

Meanwhile, those who liked the post dive for cover realising they too made a mistake...

I'm surprised it took quite so long - it was 'killing' me...

they should be referred to as scientific or botanical names really and i'm still well behind with my tree species just in the UK but i've learned loads of the botanical names for any of the wood species i've used over the last 15 or so years and not all of them stick so need refreshing from time to time.

 

pronunciation is a bit hit and miss.

 

it can be difficult when there are literally tens of thousands...

Only if you want someone to understand what you are conveying.

Maybe I am gifted then?

 

I seem to have the ability to be able to understand what people mean.

No idea what you are talking about but certain mistakes in written English do grate....or is that great?

Steve it really hits home when an artic load of bagged whips turn up for a planting scheme and they all tagged in Latin, kin nightmare.
