A few words on scientific names

[DonLisk]

Of course ....didn't everybody know that? Well, maybe not Eric but the rest of us knew.. Kurt....just curious ...do you actually have the correct spelling of all the names memorized or do you look them up. just one of those things I ponder.

LOL, I can barely remember my wife's name at times. I may have to create a cheat sheet for quick reference to scientific names ... since I already do that to remember my wife's name by having her on favorites and speed dial.
