Thank you for sharing Mandie,

Few people understand why we ask it at first, until confronted with a situation like this.

Keep it up.

i think you and cerat, gave me the hardess time. lol thank you

I think the scientific names are the coolest, (and really necessary). I haven't spent much time on the T names yet, but the origin of the names are very interresting. I know that the African Spider wasp - Hemipepsis Pompillidae(called the Tarantula Hawk by the Americans) is from the order Hymenoptera which in the Latin roots of the word means the Fleshy Winged Ones...(vleesvlerk agtiges in Afrikaans). And if you ever inspect one of these 7cm black and orange wasps you would see/feel that the wings have an almost leathery quality to it. It would be awesome to dig into T names if time was on my side because it would be eye-opening...

there is still times that i get the spelling wrong or forget but i marked al my ts with scientific names, that way when i see them i use the scientific name because i know all my slings by size and colour, so i do not forget or have to look up the names. t-rad can tell you lol, if he gives a scientific name, i still ask him to help me with the common name, so i try to remember them. it is sad that cerat is banned, because i learned the names because i wanted to show him that i can also sound smart and i realy did learn alot from him, even if it were in the sarcastic way, i remember all he told me because it was in a sarcastic way, if he said it nicely ( sou ek my gat aan hom afvee). also sterling and the animal, if they said it nicely i would ignore it because i knew they would say it nicely again. that is also why i think that cercat should be given another chance, i understand what he feels, being asked the same thing over and over, i am sure alot of you can understand that. also want to add that most of my questions were answerd by him, even thought we inbox each other to f#ck off and all that, i think he is needed on this group.
