I'm going to try and stay out of why OLDSQUAW was changed to LONG-TAILED
DUCK. I can see the sound political and social reasoning. I also think it's
ironic that the "collective we" still think the ATLANTA BRAVES and the
CLEVELAND INDIANS are OK, but have lobbied hard to change a ducks
name....Sorry...I digress.
My point was to be: let's give folks a break when they occasionally,
mistakenly use the wrong name for LONG-TAILED DUCK or misspell the STELLER'S
JAY. We all know it's Steller's and not Stellar's, let's give everyone a
break(or at least correct them privately) and stop being so nit-picky about
the obvious.
