    A retort in three parts;

    1. It’s bugs (colloquial), not Bugs (texanomic),

    2. There’s being pedantic and then there’s being a jackass - that’s you, jackass, and

    3. @eat_roadkill should embrace their name and go chow down on a three-day-dead skunk.

      Yeah, I’m pretty sure taxonomy is in latin because actual scientists got tired of dealing with pedantic dipshits.

      “Bug” is an english word so it’s the domain of an etymologist not a biolgist. My lookup of the word indicates applying “bug” to arachnids is perfectly cromulent.
