Thought I'd share this with you. It looks like more and more people on the internet are getting animal taxonomy, hence their naming wrong. It's not really essential to know this, but, well, the more you know!

This was made by a friend on DeviantArt, not really recently. Enjoy your dinosaur names!

That one was funny, had to do it. 

 

Interesting, and I always thought it was just personal taste. I still like writing it as T-Rex. Don't know why, but it looks better to me.

When writing something, I always had to look up if a hyphon or period was correct. I always wrote T. Rex.

Hmm, my whole life I have been typing it all wrong, and I like to have correct grammar whenever possible. So I guess from now on I will type T. rex and just T. rex whenever I'm not "officially" debating.

 

And I agree on the philosophy of "The more you know!" Always nice to learn something new!
