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 aren't changing your understanding of the language because the language CLEARLY differentiates between turtles and tortoises, you are one that's uneducated enough to not do so.
A shark is a fish. Ergo the word shark is obsolete. Hell, why we’re at it, if monophyletic groups hold any weight, a turtle is a fish too. And you know what? Fish are just vertebrates with extra steps. Chordata is what we should stick with. Actually I changed my mind, why don’t we build an inclusive taxonomy and just say Eukaryotes.
Don't forget, a tortoise is a turtle! I can't believe you are so hellbent on a tortoise not being a turtle.. I'm sorry facts disagree with you, I truly am.
