Came here to say this :)

Yep, I really hate those moments, too. My father used to do this all the time just to get one up on me :/

OK, got it

I don't see anyone being hostile, do you?

No worries, "being smug over the meanings of words that aren't ever actually used in a consistent way" is done over here in Europe as well. People have the exact same conversations you list as examples. I would even go so far and say that this is true for the whole world and throughout time, a human condition. I would also think that it really isn't about the words/language, but rather about having control over the conversation and power over others.

Why would you bring up binary gender with fixed binary genitalia in a post about something being genderless? Clothing is really arbitrarily gendered anyways, so of course it doesn't make much sense who is supposed to wear something and who not...

Have you uploaded it to iNaturalist? People will definitely be able to ID it over there!

Yes, bisexual means something else in both contexts...

Well, if it works for you, great. But that doesn't mean that it will work for anyone else.

OK got It, so mostly oregano-ish with notes of thyme :)

Looked it up because I hadn't heard of it. Wikipedia say the following:

Common names in English include Indian borage, country borage, French thyme, Indian mint, Mexican mint, Cuban oregano, broad leaf thyme, soup mint, Spanish thyme.

What? So does it taste like a mix of borage, thyme, mint and oregano?? Sure, they are all Lamiaceae (except for borage), but they have wildly different aromas!

How is bread and sugar not plants?? Oversimplifying stuff doesn't make it better...
