Here is a link for everyone to have a look at with basic tarantula terminology:

www.tarantulas.co.za/forum/know-your-tar...tula-terms-for-noobs

Whether you are an animal, a human, a scarab beetle or a horned baboon spider, whether your name is mike or raynard, whether you are a red dog, a green wolf or a blue foxx these terms should be used.
Just FYI realy, so go have a read through it everyone.
Thanx.

Hi all!

I have many people comming to me about tarantulas, & 90% of the
afrikaans people (almost all) refure to a T molt as a 'mold'
Its not a spelling mistake, they all do this! i use to correct them all
the time, but now i just leave them! Its not their foult, somehow
its because of the language!

:woohoo:

i can like to be agreeing wiff Fangs!

he can also not be spelling fault properly

thanx for the Link Rayman

Two things in life are infinite - The Universe, and human stupidity...

And I am not so sure about the universe...

Pleasure.
Hopefully now more people will read through it.
And good to see some people still have a sense of humour around here. I would put my battle uniform on though if i were you. Sure you will get some backlash from that post.

in afrikaans we have a 3 letter word we call "WE".....yes not we like you and I but "We" as in "WE FING" instead of THE THING......sorry guys but we dont realy have the "TH" sound in afrikaans.....and to some the T's and D's are also confusing!!!

i boughts a few D's we weekend...and wy are eatings good!i gave wem spinghoppers!

ek is egter trots afrikaans en ook bewus van my nasie se tekortkominge, maar ons kan tenminste braai en rugby speel.....en vir pret laat ons ons pokies ons byt, omdat ons kan!!!

:lol:
