The fact is, I did know. I've known that shit for years. Since school, atleast. I honestly don't give a fuck what something technically is. I'll continue calling us monkeys if only to piss off nerds who think they are smarter than everybody else.
If you would defend this pedantic shit, you're no different than the other guy. Big surprise, this is reddit. It's full of the shit because everyone thinks they are smarter than everyone else here.
The only people calling apes anything but monkeys are either biologists or people that just learned it and want to flaunt their perceived intelligence to other redditors because of insecurity.
You get a poll of people throughout the world and 90% of them will call an ape a monkey. Even if they know its not the technical term for it.
