You have to eat a snake for it to poison you. A bite injects venom. It's a snake speaking, you'd think he'd know.

YES, I'M A PEDANT! 😁😁😁

ravenlee This is one of my pet peeves, too. I always think, when a description says something is poisonous (spider, snake, scorpion) that it‘s a good thing I would never eat it, then. I have been training my daughter in the difference, too! 4y

It slightly irks me when people have decorative books that are never going to be read. This is in the lobby of my grandma‘s apartment building.

Notafraidofwords Omg this annoys me too!!! 5y

Maybe I'm just irritable today. But it's not the gender you find out, it's the biological sex. Do people just use/understand these terms as interchangeable these days?! Because to me they are two very different things.

Mandigolightly They‘re very different to me for sure 6y
ravenlee They are used (incorrectly) so interchangeably, and have been for so long, that many people don‘t know any different. I didn‘t know the difference until well into college. 6y
inthegreensandblues So many people I know have been having "gender reveal" parties the past few years and it bugs the crap out of me. 6y

scowler1 Most people use the word incorrectly, I was re-educated by my 15 year old. And those reveal parties are stupid. 6y
Naj Thank you for saying this. It riles me as well, especially when it's in books. I expect an author to be more careful and informed. 6y
Megara Ugh. 🙄 I agree with you. Gender does not equal sex. That person only wants to know what reproductive organs are between the fetus‘s legs. 6y

Apparently one of my #potterheadswap gifts has been hanging out in PA for the last 7 days with an arrival date of March 26-April 2 🤦‍♀️so @TheBookbabeblog84 you may be getting that one after the fact. I still have hope, minimal hope, but hope.

TheBookbabeblog84 Ahhhh it‘s okay. No biggie. I have to mail yours Monday because of my dang schedule. And our post office is stupid. @BethM (edited) 6y

LauraBeth Tell Pickles that when I tripped my mom's car alarm (while trying to crank it to take it to the dealer to sell it), I was so embarrassed and instead of sitting there with it blaring at her neighbors as I tried to find the kill switch, I turned it off and forwent selling it (and it was an Infinity SUV) 😂 7y
