Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Interesting but a little loose. For example Dinosaur is refered to as English several times, in fact of course, it is Latin/Greek, and I can not see that alternative 'Ancient Animal' is any better or more accurate than 'Terrible Lizard' While DNA is short for 'deoxyribonucleic acid' not 'nucleotide' as stated, etc etc.
