Gosh, those people that find "breeding" vs. "non-breeding" misleading,
must be paralyzed with confusion at the sight of summer and winter squash
in the grocery store in September. Such inconsistency is unacceptable.
Congress should pass a law against it. And what about using the terms
"male" and "female" characteristics? Sometimes, female White-tailed Deer
have little antlers. Sometimes female humans have beards. If terms isn't
strictly true all the time, I demand they be dumped. (Umm. Would males
or females be alternate or basic?)
