You seem quite intelligent to me. You had me scrambling for an answer to your question. It took me a little while to accept the new names and I often still use the old ones. Taxonomic names are kind of my thing, so that's why I try to keep up on them.

We had a science Olympiad this past weekend and we accepted the old names as well as the new. Unfortunately, a lot of the kids were confusing the genus and family names. So if we asked for the genus we got the family name. I think we need to provide a prep class for them next year.
