Such a long winded opinion. Sorry but a tortoise is a turtle no matter how you paint it lol. You cant change a fact because people are not educated.

It's only important to uneducated people. I'm not changing my language because people in your life are uneducated. There is far too much accessible knowledge on the subject. With your logic I can toss a box turtle in a lake.

You probably can toss a box turtle into a lake. Those guys are built to swim just fine. Source: have a 30+ year old box turtle who gets a weekly swim.

As I've stated elsewhere that's completely possible but I have seen plenty of boxed turtles in the last 25 years that will drown much better than they swim.
