Maybe I'm just picky?

I went to Petco's website to look around and I was trying to find the tortoise section. The closest option I seen was turtles and aquatic turtles. Well I click on turtle (just for giggles) and this is what I see...

Here is the link -

Well, I guess I shouldn't be supprised at this but they have the tortoise section listed under turtle (with a pic of a tort next to the word turtle). *sigh* Maybe I'm just being picky?

The person who does there web site probably doesn't know the difference between a tortoise and a turtle...

I think that is because most of the "common" folks in the USA, call all tortoises turtles.

All my neighbors call my tortoises turtles... which technically isn't wrong, but still drives me nuts Tortoises are turtles but not all turtles are tortoises... confused yet? LOL

It just bugs me a little when I have Bowser with me and almost everyone that sees her calls her a turtle and I usually (well most of the time) correct them. Not a huge deal but after a while I just have to roll my eyes and *sigh*
