Who me? Yes I think, and I think that you have made a minor point.

But think about it, zmjezhd, and please note that the common names of the so-called "fogfruits" all* adjectorially describe the physical characteristics of the plant rather than a fantastical image of some big turkey entangled within a tiny ground plant's wee and flimsy vines.

I'll tit if you'll tat?
