That's because the scientific definition of berries has little in common with the colloquial one. That doesn't make either wrong, they are just used in different contexts
We really should rename botanical berries to something else.
The thing is, there is for sure some Latin technical term that you can use. And it's still close enough to berries to call them that.
Oh probably, but I don't speak latin. Most people don't speak latin; there's like 1000 people in the world maximum who could hold a conversation in latin.
I love it.
I know you didn't mean it, but this has the, "Do I LOOK like I speak Latin?" Energy and as a American, I'm all about that.
Lucky, I mean it is exactly the opposite way! Teach me some local languages, like Cree or Dene, maybe something Inuk.
I guess I am telling people to speak English though, aren't I? Well it's good to keep updated on the colonizer tongue I suppose.
Now get off my native grass lawn!
Botanical vs culinary.
